Directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, Homebound revolves the story of two childhood friends, Shoaib, (played by Ishaan Khatter), and Chandan, (played by Vishal Jethwa), who dream of becoming police officers to escape the discrimination that shapes their lives. As their hopes clash with harsh realities, the film paints a moving portrait of friendship, identity, and resilience in rural India. The film also stars Janhvi Kapoor.
Backed by Dharma Productions and executive-produced by Martin Scorsese, 'Homebound' has not only received widespread critical acclaim but has also been selected as India's official entry to the Oscars.
Talking about Shahid Kapoor, the actor will be next seen in 'Cocktail 2,' alongside Rashmika Mandanna and Kriti Sanon. The film is a sequel to Cocktail, which was released in 2012 and featured Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Diana Penty. (ANI)
