Two years ago when stills of Deepika Padukone from the set of ace Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi’s new outing surfaced, they created a lot of buzz about a possible collaboration, and it was reported that the Padmaavat actor gave a look test for the film too.

Majidi added that for Beyond the Clouds he wanted new faces, hence despite auditioning a lot of known Bollywood actors, he finally zeroed in on Malavika, who makes her Hindi film debut with the movie, and Shahid Kapoor’s brother Ishaan Khatter.

The Oscar-winning filmmaker, however, did say that he is keen to cast Bollywood stars in future projects and a “collaboration may happen soon.”Beyond the Clouds marks the director’s debut of Majid Majidi in Indian feature films. The drama boasts of music by AR Rahman and it releases on March 23.

Tara (Malavika Mohanan) winds up in jail after she helps her brother Amir (Ishaan Khatter) hide a package that he hopes will be the ticket to a better life. As the trailer travels to Mumbai’ slums and the city’s numerous by-lanes, prisons and hospitals, Tara’s fear and Amir’s desperation are brought into sharp focus. Almost every moment in the trailer is punctuated by AR Rahman’s soundtrack. The movie has been made in English, Hindi and Tamil.
