In just a short span of time, Ishaan has taken Homebound from its world premiere at Toronto to receiving global acclaim. The film has been hailed as one of his most powerful performances to date, with many calling it the best of his career.

Homebound, directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, is inspired by a column written by Basharat Peer for The New York Times. Ishaan’s character in the film is loosely based on Saiyub’s life, though Ghaywan reimagined much of the backstory for both his and Vishal Jethwa’s roles.

Talking about the film in an interview with ETimes, Ishaan said, “This film is, I think it's hard to watch, but it's also very necessary. For me, I think it's a very important film for the world, not only just for India right now."

Ishaan Khatter is receiving widespread acclaim for his role in Neeraj Ghaywan’s Homebound, which has been selected as India’s official entry to the Oscars this year. The film also features Janhvi Kapoor and Vishal Jethwa in prominent roles.
