Aap ko bohot saara pyaar (Janhvi, you are as beautiful at heart as you are beautiful at face. May you move ahead – these are my best wishes. I want to see you and Vishal together in many films. Lots of love to you).”

Homebound is produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and also stars Ishaan Khatter in the lead.
The film follows two best friends, Vishal and Ishaan. The young men from a small town in North India aspire to become police officers in order to obtain the respect they have never received. However, as they move closer to their goal, increasing pressure strains their connection. Janhvi appears as a cameo in this film.
Vishal made his Bollywood debut with the 2019 action thriller film Mardaani 2 in which he played the negative lead alongside Rani Mukerji. After that, he was seen in Salaam Venky, IB71 and Tiger 3. He is yet to announce his next project.
Janvhi, on the other hand, will be next seen in Param Sundari opposite actor Sidharth Malhotra. Directed by Tushar Jalota and produced by Maddock Films, it will be hitting the theatres on July 25. The film will face a big Bollywood clash with Ajay Devgn’s Son of Sardaar 2.
