Mumbai, Sep 9 (NationPress) Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter delighted fans on Tuesday by sharing a lively video from the shooting of their upcoming film “Homebound.”
The pair, alongside actor Vishal Jethwa, were seen having a great time dancing to the famous song “Bijuria” by Sonu Nigam, showcasing their strong off-screen friendship. Janhvi took to her Instagram to share a dance reel captioned, “Humein laage na nazariya #Bijuria #homebound.” The video features the trio flaunting their dance moves to the catchy tune from Nigam’s 1999 album “Mausam.”
The video starts with filmmaker Neeraj Ghaywan humorously warding off evil eye from the trio. Janhvi is later seen draping a jacket over Ishaan, who is lounging on a couch, before they both break into spontaneous dancing.
On a related note, this drama, penned and helmed by Neeraj Ghaywan, is produced by Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra under Dharma Productions. The film is inspired by a 2020 article in the New York Times by Basharat Peer and features Ishaan Khatter, Vishal Jethwa, and Janhvi Kapoor in leading roles. It narrates the journey of two childhood friends aiming to qualify for the national police examination.
The film had its global debut in the Un Certain Regard category at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival on May 21, 2025. The narrative follows two childhood friends from a small village in North India who aspire to wear police uniforms, hoping it will finally earn them the respect they’ve always desired. However, as they get closer to realizing their dreams, increasing pressures and personal challenges begin to test their friendship.
“Homebound” recently made headlines for closing the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) 2025 with a standing ovation. Produced by Dharma Productions, it also won two prestigious awards at the festival, including Best Film and Best Director.
Ghaywan expressed, “Bringing Homebound to Melbourne and winning these two awards is incredibly special.”
He continued, “Being in a room filled with such diverse individuals is truly amazing. It feels exceptional to witness the Australian government and ministers providing extensive support for this festival, something I've never encountered anywhere else in the world,” the filmmaker concluded.
