Vishal Jethwa has worked in many films but his acting in Neeraj Ghaywan’s film ‘Homebound’ has been praised. Now Vishal Jethwa told during an interview that how the film offers coming to him changed after working in Homebound. He said that the films he is being offered now were never offered to him before.

After the success of Homebound, offers changed
In fact, while talking to Pinkvilla, Vishal said that he started getting “many different types of films which were not coming earlier.” He also said that ‘Homebound’ will always be a memorable film of his life. He said, “I started getting many different types of films which were not coming earlier. Working in the same genre, you think, what should I do now?

You don’t want to stick to the same style all the time. You don’t want to do the same thing. But the kind of script I am reading now is a little different from the earlier scripts. So yes, the success of Homebound has given me a lot. It has given me a very good situation. This has brought me success in my career. It has given me a name. He has given me good offers. And Homebound will always be a memorable film in my life.”

No regrets about cutting any scene
He was asked whether there were any scenes of his in the film which could not be included in the final cut, and whether he regrets it? He said, “I don’t regret any scene. Many of the scenes we shot were cut. Because the film has to have a fixed duration, I don’t have any regrets. But there were some scenes with Jhanvi, which were very beautiful. There was a scene with my mother, it was a very emotional scene. That could not be included in the film. And I also had many more scenes with Ishaan which were not included in the final cut. However, I have no regrets because at the end of the day, we are giving the film its due.”
