Cannes 2025: Homebound’s Vishal Jethwa brings special companion to global event; Karan Johar turns French street into personal runway

Since Homebound’s team announced that their film would grace the 78th Cannes Film Festival, fans have been chomping at the bit to catch them at this grand event. And now, the creators and performers have made their way to France, following the commencement of the international festival on May 13, 2025. Meanwhile, Karan Johar has been spotted all over town, while Vishal Jethwa arrived with a very unique companion for his Cannes premiere. Here it is!

Yesterday, the 18th of May, 2025, found me joining Ishaan Khatter, Janhvi Kapoor, and Vishal Jethwa as we jetted off from Mumbai, bound for the Cannes Film Festival happening this very year. Just a moment ago, Homebound producer extraordinaire Karan Johar shared some jaw-dropping photos on his Instagram, showcasing his impeccable style at the French Riviera.

For the photoshoot, the filmmaker adopted a model-like demeanor and ventured into the city streets wearing a stylish pink three-piece suit. He complemented his outfit with a black shirt, sunglasses, and dress shoes, catching the attention of celebrities like Twinkle Khanna, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, Huma Qureshi, and many others online. Posting a collection of photos, he exclaimed, “We’re at Cannes!!! DAY 1.

Karan Johar’s post from Cannes:

The director of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani attended a festival alongside actor Vishal Jethwa, who brought his mother along. On his social media platform, the well-known TV and film star shared his joy about realizing a dream he had long cherished with wide-open eyes. In the caption, an emotional Vishal wrote that since his childhood, he had dreamt of traveling by airplane to a foreign destination.

His most profound dream was to travel abroad with his mom on an airplane. Despite his eagerness to participate in the prestigious film festival, nothing compares to the thrill of going to Cannes 2025 alongside his mother. With a heart full of gratitude, the actor from Tiger 3 expressed his thanks for all the love and support, acknowledging that none of this would have been possible without your affection. From the depths of his heart, he thanks you all.
