Ishaan Khatter impressed critics and audiences alike with his performances in Beyond The Clouds and Dhadak.

After the latter’s success at the box office, Shahid Kapoor’s younger brother was approached for Mira Nair’s next. A source says, “Mira and Ishaan had met when she narrated the story to him. The filmmaker wanted him to play the main lead in the project. It wasn’t a feature film but a web series for an international OTT platform.”

Although Ishaan liked the idea, he didn’t give his nod to it. “He is two movies old and wants to establish himself in cinema before venturing into the digital space. It’s too early for him to do a web series,” another source states.
