India, June 3 -- Vishal Jethwa had a big career moment recently as he walked the red carpet at Cannes for the premiere of Homebound, co-starring Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter. Calling it "surreal", the actor admits that he was nervous before going to the French Riviera. "I was worried about how I would present myself. Sab log wahan itni achi English bolenge, main kahin left out na feel karun. I had a lot of nervous excitement. But once I got there, I don't know what magic happened; I felt so confident. Apart from my clothes, I was wearing my confidence. For those five minutes on the red carpet, I was living my dream," he says. Vishal's outfit also came in the limelight, and this, he insists, added a layer of confidence. "Mere wo outfit pehente hi logon ka nazariya badal gaya. With Mardaani 2, I made my acting debut, but with this [Cannes], I made my fashion debut. The golden shoulders felt like they were my wings, and I was flying," he says. Homebound received a nine-minute standing ovation at Cannes, and remembering this makes Vishal emotional. "Everyone was crying, and they were happy tears. I touched Neeraj (Ghaywan, director) sir's feet and hugged Karan (Johar) sir for this opportunity. We were crying because an ovation like that has to be earned. Aap use khareed nahin sakte," he says. Even before its premiere, Homebound scored big with American filmmaker Martin Scorsese joining as executive producer. Vishal sheepishly shares, "I don't watch many Hollywood films, and the ones I have, many of them were his. So, when his name first came up, I asked who he is. But when people told me about his films, I realised the magnanimity of it. Just to know that a top global director knows my name is more than an award for me."...
