Mumbai: Ishaan Khatter has often been in the news for all the events surrounding 'Dhadak', the Hindi remake of 'Sairat' which is backed by Karan Johar.

But very few know that 'Dhadak' isn't really Ishaan's debut movie. It rather is Majid Majidi's 'Beyond The Clouds'. Yes the same movie where Deepika Padukone was seen in some leaked stills.

Ishaan, a drug supplier in the movie, is seen with Malavika Mohanan, who plays his altruistic sister. But what was his reaction when he got the movie?

Ishaan obviously went ahead and consulted some people. At the recently held trailer launch, he revealed, "I stay with my mother. So obviously I consulted with her the first thing. Then I went to my brother (Shahid Kapoor), and I also went to Karan Johar. By the time I was approached for 'Beyond The Clouds', I had signed 'Dhadak', which was going to be my debut movie. But I told Karan sir and he asked me to go ahead with the project and I'm really grateful for it."

Both of Ishaan's movies release this year. 'Beyond The Clouds' hits the theatres on 23rd March and 'Dhadak', also Sridevi's daughter Janhvi Kaooor's debut, will release on 20th July.
