Ishaan
Khatter
The
first
look
of
the
series
was
released
in
December
2019
and
the
poster
showed
Ishaan
and
Tabu
sitting
on
a
porch
swing.
In
A
Suitable
Boy,
Khatter
will
be
seen
playing
a
young
free-spirited
boy
who
falls
in
love
with
beautiful
courtesan
Saaeda
Bai
played
by
Tabu.
Tabu
Ishaan
said
his
first
table
read
interaction
with
Tabu,
felt
right
to
him.
He
added,
"I
remember
we
had
this
first
reading
we
had
together
was
with
Mira
di
at
this
house
in
town
in
South
Mumbai.
It
was
wonderful.
It
felt
very
right.
I
felt
that
this
is
what
I
should
be
doing.
It
felt
like
there
is
a
wonderful
synergy
between
the
three
of
us.
And
how
lucky,
I
mean
not
many
actors
can
get
the
opportunity
to
share
so
much
screen
time
in
such
a
unique
way
with
one
of
the
legends
of
our
time."
Mira
Nair
Talking
about
why
he
chose
to
work
on
A
Suitable
Boy,
Ishaan
said,
he
had
been
through
many
narrations
and
readings,
but
this
one
stuck
with
him.
"And
when
somebody
like
Mira
ma'am,
gives
herself
to
you
in
such
a
wonderful
way,
she
was
very
generous
and
welcoming.
She
showed
more
enthusiasm
about
having
me
on
board
then
I
did
and
I
found
myself
taken
by
her
nature."
