According to reports, Ishaan is slated to take on a comedy role after his turn in 'Homebound'.

Ishaan's Recent Performances
Ishaan's standout performances in 'The Royals' and 'Homebound'—India's official entry to the Oscars—have already given fans a look at his broad range and skill. In 'Homebound', directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, he played Shoaib, a Muslim man in a North Indian town who dreams of becoming a police officer alongside his Dalit friend Chandan (Vishal Jethwa). The film explores their struggle against deep-seated hate and how delayed exam results spark desperation, hurting their friendship.
'The Royals Season 2'
Ishaan is also set for 'The Royals Season 2'. The makers announced their Netflix comeback early this year with a post: 'Old money, new blood, and a new season is in the works. The Royals Season 2 is coming soon, only on Netflix.' Season 1 brought together Bhumi Pednekar, Udit Arora, Zeenat Aman, Sakshi Tanwar, and Ishaan. It follows Prince Aviraaj Singh (Ishaan) as he faces royal pressures following his father King Yuvanath's passing.
On the work front, Khatter was last seen in 'Homebound', which tracks the journey of two lifelong friends in a North Indian town. The film highlights the challenges faced by Chandan, a Dalit, and Shoaib, a Muslim, as they dream of becoming police officers to escape deep hate. However, delayed exam results change everything, sparking desperation and damaging their friendship.
