Ishaan Khatter loves to share BTS pictures from the sets of Khaali Peeli on his Instagram profile. However, his latest entry is a little more special because it happens to be from the first day and the first shot of the Maqbool Khan-directed film. Ishaan, who plays a taxi driver in the film, can be seen dressed in a uniform and with a clapperboard in his hand. He captioned the post: “Satish ji and Zakir sir on camera, Ishaan on clap. Toh shuru se shuru karein? Day 1, shot 1 – Khaali Peeli.” Besides Ishaan and Ananya Panday, the film also features actors Jaideep Ahlawat and Satish Kaushik. The film is directed by Maqbool Khan and it is slated to release on ZeePlex on October 2.
