Ishaan Khatter, who made his acting debut with Majid Majidi’s Beyond The Clouds and then featured in Shashank Khaitan’s Dhadak is one hell of a dancer. With just two films to his credit, the actor has a huge fan following already.
Seeing the popularity and praise he received, the chances of seeing him features in many projects were high, but it didn’t happen. Post the back-to-back films, there were no announcement in regards to Ishaan’s next project until Vishal Bhardwaj approached him for a project he was producing and directing. This role was that of Saleem Sinai, a character based on Salman Rushdie’s Booker Prize-winning novel, Midnight’s Children.
However, to everyone’s surprise, it looks like the young man has opted out of this Vishal project over growing creative differences. According to a report in a leading daily, Vishal is now looking to launch a newcomer in his Netflix film.
Ishaan had earlier opted out of Mira Nair’s screen adaptation of Vikram Seth’s A Suitable Boy, for this Vishal Bhardwaj project. Well, it seems now like Ishaan has an empty plate with both projects gone.
If rumours are to be believed, Abhishek Kapoor has approached the actor for his next film on Pulwama attacks. But there is no official announcement yet. Also, according to a report in an entertainment website, Ishaan and Shahid Kapoor may star together in Ram Madhvani‘s next – an action-drama that revolves around two brothers.
Let wait and see which project Ishaan Khatter signs next.
