At a recent event for Homebound, Ghaywan addressed the conversations around casting Janhvi in a Dalit role, a choice that has sparked questions and debate. The filmmaker said, "In India, we have people from all walks of life. What I was searching for wasn't just acting skill, but also the inner hunger to portray a character with intensity and truth."Further, he added, "This character isn’t going to come to you. You have to go to it. You have to step out of your privileged life, confront that reality, and let it settle within you."
