Mumbai (Maharashtra), India – On April 10, ANI reported that filmmaker Neeraj Ghaywan’s film ‘Homebound,’ starring actors Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter, has been chosen for screening at the 78th iteration of the prestigious Cannes Film Festival.
Led by director Ghaywan, the film will be showcased in the 'Un Certain Regard' section, which is renowned for featuring artistic movies from various countries around the globe.
The announcement took place on Thursday when Cannes revealed its official selection list for 2025, featuring international figures such as Wes Anderson and Ari Aster.
Janhvi and Ishaan both turned to Instagram to share their joy.
When Ishaan shared the news with his followers on Instagram, he referred to this role as "the most demanding one yet."
From the instant this movie became part of my world, I sensed its exceptional quality—it stands as my most demanding role up until now. It encapsulates everything we dream about: genuine intent, resilience, kindness, and honesty. A truly defining moment in my filmmaking career so far. Guiding us all has been my dear friend who possesses an extraordinary intellect and profound sympathy—qualities few have—the talented @neerajghaywan. Additionally, this project signifies my return to work with @karanjohar and @dharmamovies after seven long years.
Janhvi Kapoor also expressed her enthusiasm, mentioning that the entire team feels incredibly privileged and is eagerly looking forward to presenting their movie on the big screen to viewers.
An instant when Indian cinema conquers the globe.

"Our hearts overflow with joy as we eagerly anticipate presenting this voyage to everyone on the grand theater screen!
For Ghaywan, this marks a particularly significant homecoming since his film "Masaan," starring actor Vicky Kaushal, had previously been showcased at Cannes and clinched accolades in the same section way back in 2015.
