Actor Ishaan Khatter discusses his U.S. debut in 'The Perfect Couple' with PEOPLE, highlighting his experience working with Nicole Kidman and other talented actors. The series, directed by Susanne Bier, premiered on Netflix and quickly became a hit, with Khatter already lined up for another project.

Actor Ishaan Khatter has made his U.S. debut in the Netflix series 'The Perfect Couple,' sharing the screen with a star-studded cast that includes Nicole Kidman. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Khatter expressed his excitement about collaborating with such accomplished actors.

'One of the things that I thoroughly enjoyed about this show is working with some wonderful people. They're all professionals and they're very generous and kind,' Khatter stated. Describing his first interaction with Kidman, who plays Greer Garrison Winbury in the Netflix murder mystery, Khatter shared, 'She was as normal as any other actor on set. We had some very interesting things that we could connect on and chat about outside of the narrative of the show.'

'She's a wonderful person. She certainly has hypnotizing eyes, which I enjoyed playing off of. It was definitely a very exciting foray into the world of Hollywood, so I feel very grateful. It's going to be one of the pleasures of my young career,' he added. The cast and crew filmed the series over four months in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, enjoying activities such as whale watching, wine tasting, and visiting local spots.

In 'The Perfect Couple,' Khatter portrays Shooter Dival, the best man and childhood friend of the groom, a role that was originally white in Elin Hilderbrand's book. Director Susanne Bier's decision to cast Khatter was based on his talent, not ethnicity. 'Susanne's vision was very distinct, and I wanted her to be my guiding force,' Khatter said.

The show premiered on September 5 and quickly shot to No. 1 on Netflix. Khatter already has another project lined up with the platform titled 'The Royals,' where he will take on the role of Prince Charming, according to People. (ANI)
