Muqabala happened magically: Ishaan Khatter

True to form, Ishaan was incredible in that scene and will definitely make people stand up and take notice.

Performing to ace Prabhu Deva’s dance track ‘Muquala Muqabala’ is considered a moment of sheer joy as well as challenge for any dance lover. But Ishaan Khatter, who debuts in Beyond The Clouds, has got this rare opportunity. He has performed in shadow in the original Prabhu Deva track ‘Muqabala’ from the film Humse Hai Muqabala, the Hindi version of Tamil film Kaadhalan as part of a certain sequence of Beyond The Clouds. Ishaan shares his experiences.

Says an insider source, “As part of a certain scene in the film, Ishaan’s character Amir is supposed to turn on a song and put up a little dance act. Ishaan is seen free styling to the original track but in a shadow dance visual.

True to form, Ishaan was incredible in that scene and will definitely make people stand up and take notice.” Ask Ishaan about his ‘Muqabala’ experience and he says, “I have to admit that this was a very happy coincidence for me. While shooting the scene, Majidi sir asked me to play any song I felt like at the time that would help elevate the moment.

When I hit play button on my music player, ‘Muqabala’ started. He absolutely loved it and asked me to take my shot and it all just magically happened. This song is in no way a new rendition or version of the song. It is very much the killer original track.”

Directed by Oscar nominated Iranian legend Majid Majidi, with music by AR Rahman, Beyond the Clouds is all set to release globally on April 20.
