Toronto, Sept. 14 -- Filmmaker Neeraj Ghaywan's latest project 'Homebound' created waves at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), where it not only received a standing ovation but also clinched the second runner-up spot for the prestigious International People's Choice Award.

The critically acclaimed film stars Ishaan Khatter and Vishal Jethwa in the lead roles.

Ghaywan's 'Homebound' revolves around two childhood friends from a small North Indian village who chase a police job that promises them the dignity they've long been denied. But as they inch closer to their dream, mounting desperation threatens the bond that holds them together. Earlier this year, the film was also screened at Cannes.
