Actor Ishaan Khattar said that director Neeraj Ghaywan had challenged the actors of the film ‘Homebound’ that we did not just have to remember the dialogues of our character but also had to live. Ishaan said that this film helped him to introspect. Directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, the film is based on the friendship of two young men Chandan (Vishal Jethwa) and Shoaib (Ishaan Khattar) from North India. The dream of both friends in the film was to join the police force, but social prejudices over their caste and religion obstruct their dreams.

The actor told ‘PTI-Bhasha’ about his conversation with the director, “Neeraj had made me and all the people working in this film clear that we could not take our characters lightly.” Ishaan said, “He (Neeraj) said that these characters are not written for you, rather you have to mold yourself in these characters. Therefore, he was the first request to us that even though you can play it efficiently, you can give a great, impressive presentation but I want you to fully mold in the character. I want you to try to live these characters.”

Ishaan, who was famous for his character in films like ‘Beyond the Clouds’, ‘Dhadak’ and ‘Pipa’, said that he wanted to work with a director like Ghaywan at this turn of his career. He said, “Very few directors give you a chance to move forward like this. I started my career with such director Majid Majidi and I immediately came to know that Neeraj would prove to be a big gift for me and he is also.” The ‘Homebound’ journalist Basharat Pir’s ‘The New York Times’ article ‘The New York Times’ released in theaters on Friday is inspired.
