After making waves at the Cannes Film Festival, Neeraj Ghaywan’s much-talked-about film Homebound is all set for another prestigious global platform – the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Featuring acclaimed young actor Vishal Jethwa in the lead, the film continues to earn international recognition for its powerful storytelling and compelling performances.
Jethwa, who has consistently impressed audiences with his versatility, expressed his excitement about the film’s TIFF premiere.
“It feels amazing to be in the spotlight for Homebound. Cannes gave us an overwhelming response, and I feel truly grateful for the love and appreciation we received there. To now be heading to Toronto is a dream. I’m enjoying every bit of this global attention, and I really hope the audience at TIFF embraces the film with the same warmth. This journey has been both humbling and inspiring, and I can’t wait for more people to experience the world of Homebound,” he said.
With Homebound now marking its presence at two of the world’s most prestigious film festivals, anticipation is building among cinephiles. Ghaywan’s sensitive direction combined with Jethwa’s impactful performance has already generated strong buzz, and TIFF – known for celebrating bold, thought-provoking cinema – offers the perfect stage for the film to reach audiences across cultures.
