Ishaan
On
His
Brother
Shahid
Kapoor
While
he
was
growing
up,
Ishaan
says
he
keenly
observed
both
his
mother
and
brother's
work
as
actors
and
it
is
their
passion
and
work
ethics
that
inspire
him.
"...My
brother
has
been
working
tirelessly
all
these
years
and
it
is
only
because
of
his
passion
for
acting.
The
most
invaluable
advice
he
has
given
me
is
to
be
honest
to
my
work.
He
says
camera
will
always
capture
honest
emotions
whether
or
not
people
see
it."
Does
Ishaan
Mind
Being
Referred
As
Shahid's
Brother?
When
Ishaan
Khattar
was
asked
if
he
is
mentally
prepared
to
be
known
as
Shahid
Kapoor's
brother?
"It
is
not
something
to
be
prepared
for.
That
is
my
truth,"
he
says.
Did
You
Know?
Ishaan
says
he
made
a
50-minute
audition
video
to
impress
the
director
of
critically-acclaimed
films
such
as
"Children
of
Heaven",
"Colour
of
Paradise"
and
"The
Song
of
Sparrows".
It
was
casting
director
Honey
Trehan
who
told
Ishaan
to
audition
for
Majidi's
film.
He
says
he
was
was
surprised
to
know
that
the director watched
the
entire
tape.
Ishaan
Says..
"I
have
been
told
this
is
unusual
as
for
'Children
of
Heaven'
he
had
auditioned
8,000
kids.
It
is
unusual
as
he
selected
somebody
so
soon
and
instinctively.
It
made
me
feel
very
grateful.
I
feel
blessed
to
be
his
hero."
Ishaan
On
Working
With
Majidi
Even
while
shooting,
Ishaan
says,
Majidi
would
be
precise
about
what
he
wanted
to
see
on
camera
but
there
were
moments
when
he
would
let
the
actor
interpret
the
character.
"...It
is
more
frightening
when
he
tells
you
to
do
things
your
way
as
he
is
so
particular
about
things.
It
is
unnerving
when
he
just
leaves
you
completely
free.
He
keeps
you
on
your
toes
as
an
actor,
he
doesn't
let
you
get
used
to
a
format
of
working,
which
is
great.
"He
is
a
soulful
man
and
has
a
great
mind.
He
is
a
meticulous
person
and
deeply
scrutinizes
everything."
Ishaan
On
His
Debut
Film
'Beyond
The
Clouds'
For
Ishaan,
"Beyond
the
Clouds"
is
a
film
made
with
lot
of
heart,
blood,
sweat
and
tears.
"It
is
a
real
and
rare
piece
of
work,"
he
says,
adding
that
the
film
is
an
extension
of
Majidi's
philosophy.
"It
talks
deeply
about
humanity,
relationships
that
are
beyond
familial
ties.
It
is
about
ordinary
people
who
go
through
extra
ordinary
experiences,"
he
says.
The
film,
which
also
stars Malayalam actor Malavika
Mohanan,
is
set
to
be
released
on
April
20.
