Huge Congratulations To Team Homebound Says Vineet Kumar Singh

India’s official entry to the Oscars this year, Homebound, is already building serious buzz—both for its powerful storytelling and its talented ensemble cast. Starring Ishaan Khatter, Janhvi Kapoor, and Vishal Jethwa, the film has struck a chord with both critics and audiences alike. 

 

Directed by Neeraj, Homebound is being hailed as an emotionally charged drama that captures both intimacy and identity—qualities that make it a strong contender on the global awards circuit.

 

At the Khidkiyaan Theatre Festival 2025, actor Vineet Kumar Singh shared his joy about Homebound receiving international recognition, revealing a personal connection to its director. “First and foremost, it is a huge thing, and I would like to congratulate the whole team, because a film is made by collaboration, everyone’s efforts, so Ishaan, Janhvi and Vishal along with the whole team, huge congratulations,” Vineet said. “Especially to Neeraj, because as a director his first ever work, a short film, while we were shooting for Gangs of Wasseypur in Banaras, he made a short film Shor, it was a special film and I personally feel a special connection with Neeraj, and I am very happy for that.”

 

While he’s thrilled for Homebound's success, Vineet is also riding high on the response to his latest release, Nishaanchi—a gritty, layered drama directed by none other than Anurag Kashyap. The film has opened strong at the box office, with critics praising Vineet’s performance for its intensity and emotional depth. The actor, known for his grounded yet powerful roles, reflected on what it means to work with a filmmaker like Kashyap.

 

“No matter what I say about Anurag Kashyap, words won’t do him justice,” Vineet shared when asked about their collaboration. “Because every time I get an opportunity to work with him, I personally feel that some new chapter has been unfolded within myself. With each project he has put his trust in me, he gave me freedom to perform. A trust has been built with him—he says only one line and I sort of understand the whole thing. And when I feel I need to say nothing, I guess he already knows it. Nishaanchi is out, I am really happy about the film, and from what I am hearing, it is doing good.”

 

Between the emotional weight of Homebound and the raw, creative charge of Nishaanchi, it’s clear that Vineet Kumar Singh finds himself at a rich intersection of storytelling—one foot in the heartfelt drama of a rising Oscar entry, the other in the fierce cinema of Kashyap’s world. Both films represent the best of Indian filmmaking—collaborative, risk-taking, and deeply human.
