Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi, whose first Indian film Beyond The Clouds, stars newcomer Ishaan Khatter, actor Shahid Kapoor’s younger brother and Malavika Mohanan, says that actress Deepika Padukone was not called for the casting of the film.
“We did not call Deepika for the casting of the film but putting her in a situation to the get the essence of the story… Unfortunately, we could not collaborate on the film. We would like to thank her and hope to collaborate in near future,” he said.
Majidi told “I have worked with many professional actors in past but for this film, it was important to find a new face. I know in Indian film industry it is driven by more famous faces but I think there should be a relation between the character of the story and the person who is playing the character, I mean the actor.”
In this film, they were the best choice. Having said that, in future, I will do that too,” he added.
