Homebound Cast Remuneration: Janhvi Kapoor to Ishaan Khatter Who Earned More?

Homebound Cast Remuneration: Homebound, which will premiere in the year 2025, directed by Neeraj Ghaywan with production-dharma production besides Adar Poonawalla and Somen Mishra has something not so typical in Bollywood big budget presentations. The film that was shot across North India with very minimal VFX primarily aimed at a realistic and intimate performance. The production budget was just ₹28-30 crores, and the rumor mill has churned with how much the cast has been paid and the one atop the leaderboard.

Cast Salary Breakdown-

Janhvi Kapoor as Sudha Bharti – 4-5 crore INR
As a Dalit wannabe, Janhvi has made her mark as the highest-paid actor of this project. Her paycheck is a nod to her being a regular at Dharma, a rising online influencer, and a high-value endorsement.

Ishaan Khatter as Shoaib Ali – 2.5-3.5 crore
In his role as a Muslim wannabe, Ishaan carries a relatively heavier weight within the story. Though much lower than Janhvi’s price, it reflects his serious choices in the indie landscape, where performance almost always weighs more than commercial draw.

Vishal Jethwa and Chandan Kumar – 1-1.5 crore
While known for intense roles, Vishal throws important weight into the film at a very tender stage in his journey as a professional commercial actor. He earns a considerable amount but not heavy; his pay goes up steadily.

Why Janhvi Earned More

Janhvi was able to bag the highest payment due to her endorsements, and box office scores (Mili, Bawaal), while also owing to the decades long investment of Dharma in her career. Additionally, the star’s power guarantees that better festival buzz and OTT negotiations take place.

ROI Perspective: Beyond Box Office,

Homebound is then ready to go for:

Festival acclaim – Cannes premiere, Oscar buzz

Awards traction – India’s official entry for Best International Feature Film

OTT success-pretty strong deals expected post-theatrical run
