Shahid Kapoor s brother Ishaan Khattar makes his acting debut with Majid Majidi s next

Amidst several speculations about his next film, Shahid Kapoor s half-brother, Ishaan Khattar decided to make his acting debut with an international project. He will start shooting for critically acclaimed Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi s film in India that rolls today, on January 23.

Initially there were rumours that Ishaan will be doing one of Karan Johar s films but with no update on that front, the newbie who had his aim high, decided to start with this one. Apparently titled Beyond The Clouds, the film will have Ishaan playing one of the protagonists in this brother-sister story. Elaborating on the role, producer Shareen Mantri Kedia revealed that the young lad will play someone who is deeply connected to the ground and the city.

From what we hear, Majid Majidi had approached Honey Trehan, the casting director to scout talented actors who will play leading actors in his forthcoming film. Ishaan, apparently, aced the look test and suited the role of the brother perfectly because of which Majid Majidi decided to go ahead with the decision.

On the other hand, Deepika Padukone was too spotted shooting for the film with Majid Majidi but the details of the same are yet to be known. However, Ishaan Khattar starts shooting for Beyond The Clouds today in South Mumbai.
