Ishaan Khatter not part of Ishq Vishq 2

There have been reports of Ishq Vishq 2, the sequel to Shahid Kapoor’s 2003 debut film as a leading man, being brought back with Shahid’s sparkling sibling Ishaan Khatter in the lead.

This, if you think about it, makes a lot of box office sense: Shahid was almost the same age during Ishq Vishq as his brother is now. Putting Ishaan in the Ishq Vishq sequel makes a viable option in the wishful-thinking list, and a good headline.

Sadly, every wishful casting doesn’t come true: Reports that Ishaan, who is yet to sign his next film after the stunning Majid Majidi debut Beyond The Clouds and the disappointing follow-up film Dhadak, acting in Ishq Vishq 2 are completely false.

When contacted Ishaan says, “No I am not doing Ishq Vishq 2.”

Nevertheless, the Ishq Vishq sequel is happening, even if not with Ishaan in the lead. Ishq Vishq producer Ramesh Taurani confirmed, “We are definitely making the sequel to Ishq Vishq. But we haven’t decided the cast as yet.”
