In addition to this, the video shared by Kaushal also showed Ghaywan talking about the priceless moment. He said, "I honestly don’t know why I cried like that. I have no recollection of what happened because as soon as we got up, there was a strange thing: that there is so much of me that I’ve put in the film. I think it was stuck in my subconscious, like the minutest thing triggered me."
He further explained his point by noting the scene where the father is watering the newly built home was inspired by his life. He also revealed that he had been working on the film for the past 4 years non-stop.
Notably, Vicky and Neeraj have collaborated on Masaan, which also premiered at Cannes 10 years ago.
Homebound is directed by Neeraj Ghaywan and produced by Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra. Marijke deSouza and Melita Toscan Du Plantier are the co-producers. The film premiered at the festival yesterday, i.e., May 21, 2025.
Meanwhile, Vicky Kaushal will be next seen in the highly anticipated Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War alongside Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor.
