Ishaan Khatter has showcased his acting prowess in movies like ‘Beyond the Clouds’ and ‘Dhadak’. Going by his talent we can say that he is going to be the next big thing in Bollywood. In both, the movies, his screen presence and acting were lauded by the critics and audience alike. Post the release of ‘Dhadak‘, till now there has been no announcement of Ishaan’s next project, but the latest report suggests that he has signed a web series.

As per a report in Cineblitz, Ishaan has signed a web series (an adaptation of Salman Rushdie’s novel Midnight’s Children) which will be directed by Vishal Bhardwaj for Netflix. Earlier he was in talks with Mira Nair’s eight-part series adaptation of Vikram Seth’s 1993 novel ‘A Suitable Boy’ for BBC.

When the ‘Omkara’ director approached Ishaan to talk regarding the web series, the actor said ‘yes’ to Bhardwaj. Shahid, Ishaan’s brother share a good rapport with Vishal Bharadwaj as both have worked in projects like ‘Kaminey’, and ‘Haider’ and with his roles in both the movies, the actor earned a lot of appreciations. Ishaan thought that the adaptation of ‘Midnight’s Children’ would give him a career-defining role. This is why the ‘Dhadak’ actor turned down Mira Nair’s project and signed Bhardwaj’s web series. It would be great to see Ishaan in a web series and that too directed by the National Award winning director.

Now, Randeep Hooda is on board for Mira Nair’s series.
