Vishal Jethwa, Janhvi Kapoor dazzle Toronto

The actors attend the screening of their film Homebound at Toronto International Film Festival

Actor Vishal Jethwa is currently at Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) for the screening of his film, Homebound.

Directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, Homebound also stars Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter.

Excited to be at TIFF, Vishal in a press note said, "It feels amazing to be in the spotlight for Homebound. Cannes gave us an overwhelming response and I feel truly grateful for the love and appreciation we received there. To now be heading to Toronto is a dream. I'm enjoying every bit of this global attention.”

"I really hope the audience at TIFF embraces the film with the same warmth. This journey has been both humbling and inspiring, and I can't wait for more people to experience the world of Homebound," he added.

Homebound revolves around two childhood friends from a small North Indian village who chase a police job that promises them the dignity they've long been denied. But as they inch closer to their dream, mounting desperation threatens the bond that holds them together. Earlier this year, the film was screened at Cannes as well. —ANI

Janhavi stuns

For her TIFF outing, Janhvi Kapoor wore a resham sari by Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla. It was paired with an antique jamavar shawl from the stylist’s own collection. A vintage men’s jamavar jacket from the 1980s, upcycled and embroidered by the designer duo, completed the look. Together, these pieces highlighted the enduring legacy of Kashmiri textile traditions.

She wore silver earrings inspired by the Kashmiri dejhur that paid homage to heritage to this bridal jewellery. Her look was styled by Rhea Kapoor.
