Ishaan Khatter has been a part of the film industry for nearly eight years. However, the actor's presence on screen is quite limited, and many have definitely noticed it. Now, during a recent interview, he revealed that what he has in store for his future endeavours is sure to be an exciting journey.
Upcoming Netflix series The Royals and a dream collaboration
Khatter told Hindustan Times that one thing he can promise is that people will not want to miss his upcoming Netflix series, The Royals—a show that is full of excitement, humour, and spicy entertainment. What makes it even more impressive is that it allows him to play a role he has never played before. After that, the actor will be working on a feature film with a filmmaker he has looked up to for more than ten years and whom he has always wanted to collaborate with; the opportunity is truly magical. He eagerly anticipates their release later this year, having completed filming.

A Suitable Boy, Dhadak, Khaali Peeli, Phone Bhoot, Pippa, and The Perfect Couple are just a few of the features that Ishaan has acted in. Audiences responded positively to some of these initiatives, while others were underwhelming. The demands of the Bollywood industry don't bother Khatter, though.
Pursuit of excellence over relevance
It takes time, but for him, the chase is not about being relevant but about being excellent. The actor wants to make it his top priority going ahead since he can take full responsibility for achieving greatness. It's not enough to merely be in the right spot at the right time; what really matters is working hard and earning it.
Khatter also said that a steady pace is nothing to be terrified of. When he is passionate about anything, he moves with lightning speed because he knows he is on fire. If something doesn't pique his interest, though, he is prepared to wait. It calls for perseverance, but the actor thinks those are all admirable traits.
Choosing roles that align with his values
Working with the people and events in his stories is, in his opinion, the most important thing he can do. Khatter can express his idea of manhood on TV by pursuing roles and scripts that reflect his values. He wants to express his opinion honestly and strongly through these depictions.
Khatter revealed that he simply wants to keep doing what he's doing while discussing his magnetism for females and males alike. The actor believes that people will be accepted for who they are when they stop pretending. The process is lengthy; he has been in the industry for seven years with just three films in theatres, but he has been lucky to have a wide range of projects that have resonated with many people.
