Internet compares Janhvi Kapoor's Cannes attire to this Sridevi look, Vishal Jethwa takes his mom for Homebound premiere at festival
The Indian team of actors, directors and producers at this year's Cannes International Film Festival have certainly made a mark with their presence and style. Among this proud contingent is the team behind the film Homebound, including director Neeraj Ghaywan, producer Karan Johar and actors Ishaan Khatter, Janhvi Kapoor and Vishal Jethwa. Janhvi Kapoor's Cannes look had many on the internet comparing her with mother Sridevi. Sharing a photo of Sridevi where she is also wearing a similar structured ghoonghat, many commented on Reddit how the two looks were quite similar. For her Cannes debut, Janhvi wore a creation by designer Tarun Tahiliani and was styled by Rhea Kapoor. However, Tarun or Rhea have not yet commented if Sridevi was indeed the inspiration. Vishal shared that it was always his dream to take his mother on an international trip. While sharing photos with his mother from France-bound flight, he wrote, 'Since childhood I dreamed that one day I will sit in the flight. Then dreamt of traveling abroad once again. And one of these biggest dreams was that one day I will take my mummy to travel abroad in flight. So today is a big day for me cause I'm living this dream ✨ The greatest joy than attending Cannes is that I'm attending Cannes with my mom.🤍 Thank you very much for all your love and support.' A post shared by Vishal Jethwa (@vishaljethwa06) While getting ready for the most important walk of his life, Jethwa took to Instagram to express his gratitude to all the fans and the people he has worked with during his journey to Cannes. The actor sat in the chair in a bathrobe while his makeup for the red carpet was done and proceeded to thank everyone from his family to the spot dada on the set. 'Today I am going to attend the biggest event of my life, and that is the Cannes Film Festival. I wanted to celebrate this journey by sharing this moment with you all because this would never have been possible without your support. I would like to thank my family, friends, casting directors, producers, spot dada, and anyone who is connected to my name. I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart. This is a big day not just for me, but for the entire country.'

Others from the team opened a window to the celebration at Cannes in different ways; Janhvi and Ishaan posted several pictures of their looks from the red carpet, while the latter was also seen roaming the streets of the city. Ghaywan, who has been to Cannes before as well, posed with the iconic director Spike Lee, who is currently gearing up for the release of his film with Denzel Washington, Highest 2 Lowest. Homebound has been selected as part of the 'Un Certain Regard' category, which literally translates to 'A Certain Glance', and the category highlights films with unique storytelling and fresh voices in cinema. It features 20 films each year. Interestingly, Ghaywan's Masaan (2015) was selected in the same category. Homebound has been jointly produced by Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla and Somen Mishra, and was later boarded by Martin Scorsese and Marijke Dsouza. The film follows the story of two friends who pursue respect and dignity in the eyes of social disapproval. Cannes'website described it as, 'Two childhood friends from a small North Indian village 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.'
