Ishaan Khatter on working as a member of Udta Punjab crew
Later, Shahid allowed him to meet the film's director, Abhishek Chaubey, who thought Ishaan could be of help. "I started off with, I was given the printer on day one. 4 am in Taran. We're all freezing. We're making this film. There's a lot of gorilla shooting. Find the base. Make sure the sides are printed, and get it to the actors. Then they realised, okay, this boy is quick on his feet. So I became the runner," he said.
Ishaan on multiple jobs, weight loss
Ishaan said that within a week, he was doing multiple jobs, which led to his weight loss. "Then from second day onwards, they made me the main clap boy, because I figured lensing out quickly. Next, I figured out how to get in, get out. Do not come in the way, be quiet, and become a fly on the wall. So main clap boy. Now the continuity team is like, okay, he's good with continuity. So they started giving me that. By the first week, I was doing 8 jobs. I was dying. I had lost 4 kilos. But I was loving it. I was like, I'm getting to do everything. And I genuinely love it. It was the best training ground," he added.
