When it comes to dream debuts, boy wonder Ishaan Khatter's is launch is right up there with the likes of Freida Pinto, Suraj Sharma, Dev Patel. His debut film Beyond The Clouds is legendary Iranian auteur Majid Majidi's first ever India sojourn. And the film is a league apart with the team involved from producers Namah Pictures and Zee Studios, Hindi dialogue writer Vishal Bharadwaj, casting director Honey Trehan to last but not the least, music director A R Rahman.
For a recent magazine interview Ishaan's big brother Shahid Kapoor, who also made an entry into the industry with a big bang, was asked about his views on Ishaan's big screen debut. He says, “I don’t want to jump the gun. I want people to see the film, his work. But I must say that he has surprised me with what he did and I’m sure people will see his hard work. He has worked sincerely and he has a lot of himself in this character. He is very fortunate to be working with Mr Majid Majidi. I do feel very proud of the work that he has done. But I don’t want to talk about it. I want people to see it. Let people see it and let people decide.”
Looks like Shahid is super proud and excited for Ishaan and the release of Beyond The Clouds. Ishaan has already made waves with his performance amidst international viewers and has received multiple awards already at the various festivals. So like Smriti Irani said at IFFI in Goa looks like a star is born!
