After Shahid Kapoor’s half-sister Sanah Kapoor signed up to make her
acting debut (in Vikas Bahl’s next), another of his siblings is set for a
stint in Bollywood. His half-brother Ishaan Khattar, an aspiring
director, is assisting Abhishek Chaubey on his next, which interestingly
stars Shahid. An insider reveals, “Ishaan is working as an assistant on
Abhishek’s next, which also stars Alia Bhatt and Kareena Kapoor Khan.
This has been one of the best-kept secrets of the film. Being an
assistant is part of the training process for any aspirant who wants to
make it big in the film world, and Ishaan is no different.” It seems
that despite having a star brother, Ishaan didn’t ask for help to bag
the project.
“He
did ask Shahid for his permission to meet Abhishek, but Shahid wasn’t
involved in getting him the project. Ishaan spoke to Abhishek, who was
impressed with his passion and confidence, and took him on board,” says
the insider, adding, “It’s a proud moment for Shahid. He’s very close to
Ishaan, and he thinks working with him will be fun.”
