esteemed director has revealed that he loves India but he refuses to work
Bollywood stars. “I didn’t want to work with Bollywood superstars. I always
wanted to shoot at different locations in Mumbai , because places are also
characters in my films. But even for one audition, It was difficult with
Deepika Padukone as there was a large crowd and even more curiosity. That was
the reaosn for not wanting to cast a superstar.” There you go! Now we know why.
His international film was the opening film at
IFFI this year. Ishna Khatter, his brother Shahid Kapoor were also present. In
another interview, Ishaan talks about working with Majidi, ” Majidi Sir has
such strong leadership qualities and everyone working with him is working to fulfill his vision.Nobody
bought their seniority to the table, only their experience. It was incredibly
empowering I did not get to meet Rahman sir during the shooting but working
with Vishal Bharadwaj sir with the fantastic dialogue was incredible.”

Everyone was praises for Majidi’s complex style fo filmmaking and Ishaan’s
knack for conveying emotions.
