What is the feeling on that?
Indian actor Ishaan Khatter describes the experience as “overwhelming, in a good way.”
The 28-year-old, who plays Shooter Dival in the murder mystery The Perfect Couple, has had a busy few weeks.
Even though the role was different from what he had done before, Ishaan claims that accepting it “was a no-brainer”.
“The most exciting thing about it, the most reassuring thing about it, was the way the character was written and the fact that it didn’t feel like a token diversity character,” according to him.
I was objectified, yes.
Mumbai native Ishaan has primarily established himself in Bollywood with movies like it.
“Ethnicity agnostic” casting was used for The Perfect Couple, according to actor Haroon Rashid of BBC Asian Network, who says actors from a variety of backgrounds applied.
He attributes the intriguing and “three-dimensional” nature of his character, Shooter, to the writers and director Susanne Bier.
He feels it’s great to play into the red herrings.
You just want to genuinely take the audience on a journey. He claims it’s evidence of skillful craftsmanship.
