Ishaan Khatter, the rising star from Bollywood, has made a notable entrance into the U.S. entertainment scene with his role in the Netflix murder mystery series ‘The Perfect Couple’.

Filming for ‘The Perfect Couple’ took place over four months in the picturesque setting of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The cast not only worked hard but also enjoyed local activities like whale watching and wine tasting, making the experience both professional and personal.
In the series, Khatter plays Shooter Dival, a character who is the best man and a long-time friend of the groom. In Elin Hilderbrand’s book, which inspired the show, the role of Shooter was originally a white character. Director Susanne Bier’s choice to cast me was due to his talent rather than his ethnicity. “Susanne’s vision for the character was clear, and I trusted her completely,” Khatter noted.
‘The Perfect Couple’ premiered on September 5 and quickly climbed to the top of Netflix’s charts. With this success under his belt, Khatter is already gearing up for his next project with Netflix, where he will take on the role of Prince Charming in ‘The Royals’.
