‘Homebound’ actors Vishal Jethwa and Ishaan Khatter credit film for making them more aware

MUMBAI: “Homebound” helped actor Vishal Jethwa embrace his true identity while Ishaan Khatter said the film made him realise that he had a responsibility to be socially aware.

The film, directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, follows the story of the childhood friendship between a Muslim (Khatter) and Dalit (Jethwa) who chase a police job that promises them the dignity they have long been denied due to their surnames. It stars Khatter, Jethwa and Janhvi Kapoor in lead roles.

Jethwa said the film confronts a crucial issue in India: the societal judgment tied to language proficiency.
