About homebound
Homebound stars Ishan Khat, Janhvi Kapoor and Vishal Jethwa. The film was the world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May this year, which was in some UN honor section. Homebound revolves around two childhood friends of a small North Indian village, who chases a police job that promises them the dignity that has been denied them for a long time. But as they inch their dreams close to their dreams, the growing frustration has threatened the bond that puts them together.
The film is produced by Karan Johar, other Poonwal, Apoorva Mehta and Somen Mishra. Co-products include Marizk de Suja and Melita Toscan du Plantar. Academy Award winning director Martin Scorscie is an executive producer for the film.
