Ishaan Khatter Says 'Film Festivals Were My Education' As He Recalls Watching 6 Films A Day
Last Updated: Ishaan Khatter recalls watching 6 films a day at festivals, calling them his film school, and reflects on the dream come true of walking the red carpet at Cannes. Before the flashing cameras and red-carpet appearances, Ishaan Khatter was just another young cinephile, quietly soaking in the magic of cinema from the dark corners of festival theatres. Today, as he stands tall among Bollywood's promising new generation, Khatter attributes much of his growth not just to film sets, but to the formative hours he spent watching world cinema—sometimes six films a day. 'Film festivals were my education," Ishaan says, recalling a time when his love for cinema was his only compass. 'For three years, I went to as many festivals as I could and watched as many films as possible. My record was six movies in one day. I was a learning glutton." Where most people saw films as entertainment, Ishaan devoured them as study material, immersing himself in stories, styles, and storytelling across languages and cultures. This deep engagement with cinema eventually bore fruit in the most poetic way—at the Cannes Film Festival, the ultimate celebration of global filmmaking. Ishaan walked the red carpet not as a fan or aspiring artist, but as someone who had earned his place on the screen and among storytellers he long admired. 'Cannes is the place to be, it's the holy grail," he shared. 'I always dreamed of going there with my own film, and it really felt like that dream came true. I was there with a team I love and admire." Ishaan Khatter, who recently received a lot of appreciation for his role in The Royals, is now waiting for the release of his next film, Homebound. The film, directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, also stars Janhvi Kapoor and Vishal Jethwa. Meanwhile, Shahid Kapoor is busy shooting for Vishal Bhardwaj's Arjun Ustara, alongside Triptii Dimri, Nana Patekar and Randeep Hooda. He will also be seen in Cocktail 2 with Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna. After that, he will return for Farzi Season 2, which also stars Vijay Sethupathi, Kay Kay Menon and Raashii Khanna.

And ever since the first season ended on a nail-biting cliffhanger, fans have been waiting for the sequel with bated breath. Now, there's finally an update, and it's the kind, fans have been hoping for. According to a recent Pinkvilla report, Farzi Season 2 is all set to go on floors in December 2025. Yes, it's happening. The second season will pick up right where the story left off, with Shahid Kapoor's character Sunny about to face a deadly confrontation with Vijay Sethupathi's Michael and Kay Kay Menon's Mansoor. Expect Farzi Season 2 by late 2026 or early 2027, only on Amazon Prime Video.

As per Pinkvilla sources, Raj and DK are currently wrapping up their other project, Rakht Brahmand. Once that's done, they'll jump straight into pre-production for Farzi 2. Shahid Kapoor is already in discussions with the creators to lock in the storyline and tone for the sequel. The wait might feel long, but Farzi 2 is officially on its way, and let's agree, none of us can keep calm.
