Actor Ishaan Khatter is giving fans a peek into his strong off-screen friendship with co-star Vishal Jethwa from the upcoming film Homebound. On Instagram, he posted a series of behind-the-scenes photos that highlight their bond, even tossing in the classic Sholay song “Yeh Dosti Hum Nahin” for that nostalgic vibe.
Ishaan captioned one set of images, “Dosti amar rahe – Shoaib aur Chandan,” nodding to their characters’ unbreakable friendship in the movie. He also reflected on the film’s release day by sharing memories from their first preparation days in August 2024. The snaps show Ishaan, Vishal, director Neeraj Ghaywan, and producer Shriidhar Dubey diving into village life in North India. One standout photo catches the group enjoying a simple, heartfelt meal together.
In his full caption, Ishaan wrote: “Aaj Homebound ke release ke din woh pehle din yaad aa rahe hain jinhone humein is kahaani ko gehrai se samajhne ki kshamta di.. preparation, august 2024. @neeraj.ghaywan @vishaljethwa06 @shriidhardubey.” It translates to remembering those early days that helped them truly grasp the story’s depth.
Homebound, directed by National Award winner Neeraj Ghaywan and produced by Dharma Productions, just got big news: India has selected it as the official entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 98th Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars. The drama follows two lifelong friends from a small North Indian village who dream of joining the police force to earn the respect their families never had. But as they chase that goal, mounting pressures start testing their bond.
The cast includes Janhvi Kapoor alongside Ishaan Khatter and Vishal Jethwa, bringing fresh energy to this tale of ambition and brotherhood in Bollywood.
Ghaywan shared his excitement in a statement, saying he’s “deeply honoured” by the selection. “Rooted in the love for our land and our people, it carries the essence of the home we all share,” he noted. “To take our stories to the world and represent India at one of the biggest global stages for cinema is both humbling and a matter of pride, and for this I’m deeply grateful.” Fans are buzzing about Homebound’s Oscar journey and the real-life friendship shining through these posts.
