The trio of Janhvi Kapoor, Ishaan Khatter, and Vishal Jethwa stole the show at the glitzy Mumbai premiere of Homebound. As the celebrities posed for photos, exuding charm and confidence, fans, paparazzi, and the media were all buzzing. The actors appeared totally comfortable despite the high stakes surrounding India's official Oscar entry.

Janhvi Kapoor added a sentimental and intimate touch to her red carpet appearance by looking stunning in a royal blue and black pashmina saree that was once worn by her late mother, Sridevi.

Ishaan Khatter's carefree look garnered praise on social media as he wore a white shirt, black pants, and a scaff. Ishaan was also seen posing and sharing a hug with his dad at the premiere.



While Vishal Jethwa’s elegant Indo-western attire completed the power-packed trio.


A Star-Studded Premiere

Bollywood stars Arjun Kapoor, Malaika Arora, Hrithik Roshan, Farah Khan, and Vicky Kaushal were among those who attended the premiere. As the Homebound ensemble cast posed and shared laughs, smiles, and unguarded moments with fans and other celebrities, cameras continued to record.

At the Cannes Film Festival, Homebound, which was directed by Neeraj Ghaywan and co-produced by Karan Johar with executive producer Martin Scorsese, has already generated a lot of buzz. Janhvi plays a crucial part in the film's plot, which centers on two friends, Chandan (Vishal) and Shoaib (Ishaan), as they fight structural obstacles to improve their lives.

Moments That Stole the Show

The entire cast was impressive, but Janhvi Kapoor's heartfelt tribute to her mother was particularly noteworthy. She struck a balance between style and a friendly, approachable manner while posing with Ishaan and Vishal.
