Ishaan Khatter chose an unconventional route to make foray in films with celebrated Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi's drama Beyond the Clouds, but the actor is now set to play a quintessential Bollywood 'hero' in Khaali Peeli, an opportunity which he says has been both fun and satisfying. In 2017's Beyond the Clouds, Ishaan played a drug dealer and followed it up with Dhadak, a romantic-drama opposite actor Janhvi Kapoor.
His latest project is Mira Nair's A Suitable Boy series for BBC, in which he essays the role of Maan Kapoor, a rebellious son of a politician. The 24-year-old actor is now looking forward to his first two Bollywood entertainers ' 'Khaali Peeli', opposite Ananya Panday, and horror-comedy 'Phone Booth' with Katrina Kaif and Siddhant Chaturvedi. "Khaali Peeli is a stylish caper. It is a thrilling ride. It is my first hero role. Every character that I have played before this, be it `Beyond the Clouds' or `Dhadak', I have been aware they are not hero roles and to play them like that would have been going against the story. So there is a different level of fun and satisfaction in playing a role like in 'Khaali Peeli',' Ishaan told PTI.
