Ishaan Khatter Praises Priyanka Chopra on Her Hollywood Journey: 'She Is a Trailblazer' | Exclusive

It might not be in a traditional way but Ishaan Khatter has been balancing Indian and international projects since the beginning of his career. Although hardcore Bollywood fans know him from Dhadak, which released in 2018, his career began earlier than that, with the film Beyond The Clouds which was directed by acclaimed Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi. He was seen in another internationally commissioned project, A Suitable Boy, which was directed by Mira Nair before he did The Perfect Couple.

Given his trajectory, fans have been enjoying both of his works. A few even pointed out that he should take up more international projects, especially in Hollywood. Some even felt that he has the potential to be a part of big projects like Priyanka Chopra. “You are one of India’s finest actors,” read a fan comment who went on to add, “Hollywood will (value you)! Best of luck. You’ll be right up there with the likes of Priyanka Chopra.”

In an exclusive conversation with News18 Showsha, Ishaan addressed this feedback and expressed his gratitude towards fans for loving and supporting him. He also went on to praise Priyanka. “She’s opened so many doors and she’s a trailblazer so many, many props to her for that. That’s a lovely thing to say. I am still doing the same thing (that I was previously). I am fortunate to receive these wonderful opportunities and I am most keen to go wherever the good work is and I am going to continue to do that and let’s see what the future has in store,” Ishaan told us.

Besides this feedback, Ishaan has also been getting a lot of female attention. The actor confessed he did not anticipate so much female attention after the release of The Perfect Couple. “I didn’t (laughs). I know the role reads a certain way and it’s also the first time you are seeing me in this light. I also haven’t been kind of seen for a little while, there’s been space between my projects, I am looking a little more grown up, feeling it also (laughs). I am just glad the series is out and I am excited for everything that is to come,” Ishaan shared.
