Ishaan Khatter

Khatter arrived with a famous half-brother in Shahid Kapoor, but what interests me is how little he leaned on it. Winning the Filmfare Best Male Debut for a drug-dealer role in Majid Majidi's Beyond the Clouds is telling—an Iranian auteur of that stature doesn't hand a lead to a coaster. I like performers who choose difficulty early, and a 1995-born actor stepping into that kind of austere, demanding cinema signals real ambition. The open question for me is whether he resists the easy lane of charming-leading-man roles and keeps chasing parts that stretch him. I'm rooting for the harder path.
