After years in Shahid Kapoor’s shadow Ishaan has emerged as a leading actor through steady work leading to critical acclaim

Overview

  • Ishaan Khatter’s latest film 'Homebound' premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival and earned a nine-minute standing ovation.
  • The actor has intentionally taken a slow-and-steady approach to build his career and establish an identity independent of his half-brother Shahid Kapoor.

  • Before debuting in Majid Majidi’s 'Beyond the Clouds', Ishaan’s first public recognition came when he was photographed at Shahid’s wedding.
