Ishaan Khatter is on a roll right now. While his recent release, Dhadak, is still going strong at the box-office, rumours once had it that Ishaan was almost cast in another big Karan Johar film. Speculations were rife for quite sometime that the young actor will be seen in Punit Malhotra’s Student of the Year 2 instead of Tiger Shroff. However, Karan Johar announced soon after, that Tiger Shroff would be leading the tribe in SOTY 2 and Ishaan would play Janhvi Kapoor's love interest in Dhadak.
Now, if recent report are anything to go by, then turns out that Ishaan wasn’t cast in SOTY 2 because of his alleged relationship with one of the SOTY 2 actresses - Tara Sutaria. Ishaan and Tara were an item for quite a while, but apparently broke up on a bad note. Rumour mills suggest that the two were so tense with each other that Johar felt it wise not to cast Ishaan along with her and keep the two away from each other.
Regardless, both seem to be doing pretty well for themselves. Ishaan has pretty much shed the ‘son of Neelima Azeem and half-brother of Shahid Kapoor’ tag from his introduction and has succeeded in making a name for himself with Dhadak. The movie has earned positive response from many critics, and Ishaan’s acting prowess has been praised.
Meanwhile Tara is reportedly seeing Rohan Mehra, son of late actor Vinod Mehra. Punit Malhotra directorial Student of the Year 2, starring Tiger Shroff, Tara Sutaria and Ananya Pandey, releases in theatres on November 23, 2018.
