“I think we’re both brothers who I highly respect, I mean, he’s my elder brother, but I think there’s a mutual respect and we give each other the space and independence in our careers,” said the actor, who strutted the runway at the Blenders Pride Fashion Tour in Guwahati.

Ishaan tagged it as a “special moment” if the two stars work together.

“If we get to work together, I think it would be a very special moment, and we would like to make it equally or more special for the audience as well,” said Ishaan, who made his first screen appearance as a child in the 2005 film Vaah! Life Ho Toh Aisi!, which starred Shahid.

He added: “So as far as the story is concerned, it could be any genre, but I can’t, I won’t be able to wait to sink my teeth into a role if I’m facing the camera with my brother.”

Looking forward, Ishaan is gearing up for the release of “The Royals”, where he is all set to star alongside Bhumi Pednekar.

According to the teaser, Ishaan will be seen playing Aviraaj Singh, a charismatic heir to the royal throne of Morpur. He crosses paths with Bhumi’s character, Sophia Kanmani Shekhar, a driven and no-nonsense CEO.
