News Topical, Digital Desk : Vishal Jethwa's name is included in the list of those stars who have won the hearts of people on TV before the big screen. He played the role of Akbar's childhood character in Sony TV's show Maharana Pratap. With this, he made his mark in every household. Well, now he works in hit films with popular Bollywood stars. His popularity increased after working in Rani Mukherjee's film Mardaani 2. These days he is in the news for his upcoming film Homebound.
Apart from Vishal Jethwa, Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khattar will be seen in the lead roles in Homebound. The film was also premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. During this, the entire cast of the film reached Cannes 2025. Now the actor has spoken openly about his Bollywood journey. He says that he feels himself a misfit in Bollywood.
The homebound actor started his career with this film
In a recent interview with Hollywood Reporter India, the actor said that people think that he entered the acting world with Mardaani which was released in 2019. Recalling his journey, the actor said, ‘I started my career as a background dancer and then worked in TV serials for about 10 years. However, my work was recognized among the people after Mardaani 2.’
The actor considers himself a misfit in Bollywood
Talking about Bollywood, the actor said, this world is completely new to me. I feel that apart from being an actor, I am not connected to Bollywood. If I leave my acting line, then apart from that my way of living and my life is completely different. Because of this I feel that I am really a misfit. My journey in the film world has come with a lot of ups and downs. This is because I do not have any special rights. When I worked in Rani Mukherjee's film Mardaani 2, then after that there was Kovid and lockdown. In such a situation, I had to sit at home for a long time.
While talking about his film career, Vishal also said that he is always proud of the fact that he has come this far without anyone's support. He stressed that he wants to be an inspiration to those who think that not speaking English, not wearing good clothes or not having a big bank balance can hold them back.
