He is all of 22. But he has already worked with iconic Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi in his maiden India-set movie Beyond The Clouds. Now Ishaan Khatter is geared up for the release of his second big canvas entertainer Dhadak. He says he is very fortunate to get offered variety so early in his career. "I am fortunate to be offered variety in such a short span of time. I managed to make my debut with my favourite Majid Majidi, whereas Dhadak is giving me a huge mass exposure. I just hope that I maintain the balance. Critics have been so kind of me to praise my performance in my debut film," Ishaan told IANS in an interview.

"I want to be a part of good films, those that help me to grow as a performer. Being a movie buff, I am really fortunate to make it my profession," he added. In Dhadak, produced by Karan Johar and directed by Shashank Khaitan, Ishaan plays a Rajasthani boy, who is obsessed with films from the 1990s. It's a character very different from his last release Beyond The Clouds, in which he played a drug peddler.
