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.”

The actor said that we had shifted from Malad to a rented house on Mira Road. My father used to work on the machine, but that too had to be stopped due to the noise in the building. My father has also sold coconut water and made packets of horn-gram for the beer bar.

Every story in the world of cinema is special, but some stories touch the hearts, because they rest on the foundation of truth and humanity. One such story has now reached the Oscar in the world’s largest platform from Deori, a small village in Basti district of Uttar Pradesh. The film ‘Homebound’, made on the struggle of two Basti’s friends, is being discussed a lot these days, which has been nominated as India’s official entry for the Best International Film category in the Oscar 2026.

Homebound is the story of two true friends of Deori
The film is not a film plot, but the story of the life and struggle of two true friends of Deori of Barhua Gram Panchayat of Basti district, Amrit and Syube. Both were laborers, whose friendship set an example of humanity on every criterion of life, Amrit died in Job’s lap while returning from Gujarat in 2020 during Kovid, and that photo became such an example of friendship of these two friends which today made a place in the film’s world’s biggest award Office.

The film is directed by National Award winner Neeraj Ghewan, while it is produced under the banner of Karan Johar and Other Poonawala. Despite the big names, the soul of the film lives in its simple and poignant subject. Homebound was first identified internationally in May 2025, when it was released at the Cannes Film Festival. The emotional fabric and true incidents of the film impressed the audience so much that after the performance, everyone in the hall stood up for a full 9 minutes and played applause, which is an extraordinary honor for any film.

Instructions Neeraj saw homebound with Syube
However, it is ironic that the story that has made the whole world emotional, its real hero Amrit and Syube’s families have not yet seen this film. Syube’s brother Suhail and Amrit’s brother Shivam have only seen the trailer of the film on YouTube, and they are eager to see it on the big screen. Recently, the team of director Neeraj Ghewan met Syube in Dubai on 27 September. Sayub is doing laborers there these days. During this meeting, members of Neeraj Ghewan’s team watched the entire film with Syube.

It was an emotional power for Sayube, because he saw the moments spent on the big screen with his friend Amrit. Amrit’s family did not even know that the story of his son’s life would ever reach the world’s biggest stage. Amrit’s father Ramcharan and mother Shobha Devi said that some people came from Mumbai about a year ago, who took some information from the family by saying that the film was made and some had gone to pay.

Saiube’s father Mohammad Yunus was proud of his son
On the other hand, Saiube’s father Mohammad Yunus Siddiqui expressed pride in this identity of his son. He said, “The son set an example of humanity and friendship even while working. The story of the film is not limited to sad events, but it also presents an example of unwavering friendship. After the death of Amrit, his family’s financial condition has become very bad. At such a time, Syyub made the family support by giving financial help in the marriage of Reema and Seema.

Today, Sayub is working in Dubai, but Amrit’s family is living very hard in the township. Father Ramcharan is responsible for the entire house. His family runs a small shop opened in the house at a cost of just 3000. They are running children’s education and household expenses only by selling toffee salty from this shop.

Director Neeraj promised to help Amrit’s family
During the meeting of the team of Syube and director Neeraj Ghewan in Dubai, Syub explained to the director about these financial difficulties of Amrit’s family. On this, director Neeraj Ghewan has assured the family to give all possible help, ‘Homebound’ is more than a film, it is the story of the struggle, sacrifice, and unwavering friendship that strengthens the fabric of our society.

The story of this small village story of Basti to reach the Oscar proves that true stories always affect the world. Now it has to be seen what the ‘Homebound’ shows amazing in the Oscars, but one thing is certain that this film has immortalized the friendship of Amrit and Syube forever.

Bollywood actor Ishaan Khattar’s film ‘Homebound’ has been released in the theater. The audience is very fond of it. In this film, actor Vishal Jethwa is seen in the role of his friend.
