Ishaan Khatter expresses his feelings after the film gets off from the 2026 Oscars raceIshaan Khatter took to his Instagram and shared BTS pictures and videos of the film. Expressing his feelings in a long note, he wrote, "'Homebound' is and always was a piece of my heart. It’s a story that took us through a journey inwards after daring to look outside the bubble we identify ourselves in. As difficult a reality as it mirrors, this film has always ultimately been hopeful to me in every way I can relate to it, as a human being, as a cinema person… and a young actor."
His note further read, "Today, as we somewhat come to an end of one part of its journey, I know I will always look back at it with love and gratitude... And as a sort of moral compass. @neeraj.ghaywan I love you, brother. There are very few people I can say this about, but I know I can always trust your conscience as a yardstick. Love to all the heroes behind the camera and to all of you who owned this film and spoke of it like your own. 'Homebound' ♾️ No feeling is final."
