An emotional and excited Vishal says, “This feels very surreal and very humbling. To even think that Homebound is getting nominated and making it to the Oscars is a dream that even I would not have been able to dream of, and this is what makes this moment so special. What makes this even more special is that this is not just a moment for me, this is a moment for the entire team that has been involved in making this film, and getting this kind of love in return. This film, this nomination is not just about us, it’s about people.”

The actor, who played Chandan Kumar in the film, adds, “I would like to thank Karan Johar sir for his trust and belief in this story, in us, and for giving us wings.

The love and affection that Neeraj sir showers on us, is incredible and heartwarming. And there’s of course, Ishaan (Khatter), whose dedication and love made this moment possible.”
