IN PICS: After Shahid Kapoor In Udta Punjab, Brother Ishaan Khattar Sports Numerous Tattoos In Film Debut

We all remember how Shahid Kapoor's tattooed avatar had become a rage among his fans during the release of Udta Punjab (2016). For those who don't know Shahid had sported 40 tattoos on his skin. Now it's his brother Ishaan Khattar who is sporting numerous tattoos for his debut film Beyond The Clouds.

Known for being a complete perfectionist and leaving no stone unturned to extract a formidable look and performance from his actors, Iranian auteur Majid Majidi - this time too - made sure his actors got into the skin of their characters. Ishaan being the lead actor in the film was asked to go through various look tests for getting the tattoos right.

Says an inside source, “To get the perfect look for the character, Majidi felt that Ishaan should sport some tattoos on his body. Along with the producers, he met a few tattoo artists before selecting one for the job. He also did several sittings with the artist to select the perfect design. Ishaan too spent time with them trying different patterns.”

Ishaan will be seen sporting a barbed wire tattoo on his left arm and a scorpion tattoo on his neck. The positioning of the scorpion tattoo was also crucial to the story line of the film.

Talking about his tattoos, Ishaan says, “The process of finalizing the look was incredibly detailed. I learnt a whole lot during the look tests, both from and about Majidi Sir's process. He's extremely meticulous and every little change he makes adds an immense amount of character. Both the tattoos were real fun to do, they're even more interesting because they're not made to be in your face at all.”

Apart from Ishaan, the film also stars Malavika Mohanan and GV Sharada. The film is a trilingual and has been made in English, Hindi and Tamil. Double Oscar winner AR Rahman has composed music for the film.
