The film's cast and crew got to meet Scorsese, who is an executive producer on the film starring Ishaan Khatter and Vishal Jethwa. In an exclusive interview, Vishal Jethwa shares his surreal moment meeting Scorsese and the valuable advice he received. Vishal recalls their meeting on November 7, where the entire team was nervous, with director Neeraj Ghaywan being the most anxious. However, Scorsese quickly put them at ease by sharing stories from his life and films. Vishal describes the experience as 'priceless' and reveals that Scorsese was impressed with their work. The actor also shares a personal anecdote, where he asked Scorsese for a solo photo opportunity. Scorsese agreed, and Vishal was thrilled to get a unique shot. Vishal also credits Scorsese for his valuable inputs on the film, which helped shape the story. As Homebound continues its US screenings, Vishal is enjoying the experience and the positive reactions from the audience. He is also exploring the city and has even improved his English since arriving in the US. When asked about the Oscar hopes for the film, Vishal remains hopeful but acknowledges the tough competition. In a separate development, Vishal has also met with Hollywood agents who have expressed interest in managing his work in the US. While he is not actively pursuing a Hollywood stint, he is open to exploring opportunities if they arise.
