Shahid Kapoor's half brother Ishaan Khatter, who is all set to make his big screen debut with Majid Majidi's "Beyond the Clouds", says the Bollywood star is a paternal figure in his life. On a question whether there will be competition with Shahid, Ishaan told reporters, "No, not at all. He is almost like a teacher, he is a paternal figure in my life. I learnt so much by watching him, I can't possibly consider myself a competition to him. In fact, I would say we are a team."


The actor was speaking at the trailer launch of the film along with Majidi, music composer A R Rahman and co-star Malavika Mohanan here today. The film dwells on the intricacies of human relationships and revolves around a pair of brother and sister who, in a bid to help each other, end up in jail. Ishaan, who is also working in the Bollywood remake of Marathi movie "Sairat" ¿ produced by Karan Johar ¿ said he discussed Majidi's project with his mother Neelima Azeem, Shahid and Johar.


"Because I stay with my mom and spend most of my time with her so obviously I spoke to her. The first person after that I would go to would be my brother. I felt strongly about the film. I am doing another film with Karan Johar ('Dhadak') "At that time we were in talks about starting that film as my first film so I spoke to him (Karan) as well and he was gracious, he let me go ahead and do this film first. These were the first three people I spoke to," he said. The film will release on March 23.
