India, Nov. 16 -- T he campaign for India's official entry into Oscars 2026, Homebound, has begun in the US, starting with a screening hosted by veteran filmmaker Martin Scorsese, 82, who also serves as an executive producer on the film. The movie, starring Ishaan Khatter and Vishal Jethwa, gave the team a rare chance to meet Scorsese in person, a moment Vishal calls "surreal". Recalling their meeting, the 31-year-old shares, "The entire team was very nervous, the most being Neeraj (Ghaywan, director) sir. Martin sir understood the pressure we were feeling and tried to put us at ease by sharing stories from his life and his films." The actor also confesses to a small personal request, which turned out to be a highlight of his day. "Everyone was clicking pictures with him. But mujhe thoda lalach tha ki hum Indian film leke aaye hain to sir se thoda Indian style mein photo khichwaun. So, I asked if I could get a solo picture with him doing a namaste, and he instantly agreed. My day was made with that," he says. He further reveals Martin's contribution to Homebound, sharing, "Martin sir had given many inputs on the story. One advice was 'stick to the boys'. Following this, Neeraj sir removed the bit about Ishaan's love story from the film."...
