Mumbai Oct 15 : Shahid Kapoor cannot contain his delight as his brother Ishaan Khatter is receiving so much love and appreciation for his phenomenal performance in his latest release, "Homebound".

It's a joy to see you come into your own as an actor and express your inner self with honestly and commitment. You are going from strength to strength and I can't tell you how proud I feel. You go get em boy. Show them what you got. Always your proudest cheerleader. (red heart emojis) (sic)."

Prior to this, Shahid's better half and Ishaan's sister-in-law, Mira Rajput Kapoor also praised her brother-in-law for his performance in the film "Homebound".

After witnessing the Neeraj Ghaywan directorial, Meera lauded Ishaan for his impactful acting in a heartfelt note on social media that read, 'I had the privilege of watching Homebound and struggled on that day and for many days after to put into words how much I felt after watching it.(sic)'

'Few movies touch you in a way where silence is the loudest applause and tears are the honest review.' Lauding her brother-in-law, Mira wrote, 'Ishaan, you have filled our hearts with pride. Fly with your magic and touch the world with your gift. Vishal Jethwa, I almost typed Chandan; you became him, and I still keep thinking about your performance. Thank you, Neeraj Ghaywan, for this," the entrepreneur added.

For the unaware, 'Homebound' has been selected as India's official entry for the Oscars this year, giving the team another reason to rejoice.

The movie talks about two childhood buddies from a small village in North India who dream of becoming police officers, hoping that the job will bring them the respect they have always craved. However, little did they know that, as they came closer to their goal, pressure and struggles would create problems in their friendship.
