MUMBAI: Filmmaker Mira Nair began shooting for A Suitable Boy in Lucknow from September 7. The series, produced by BBC One, features Tabu, Ishaan Khatter, Tanya Maniktala, Rasika Dugal, Ram Kapoor, and Shahana Goswami.

Ishaan Khatter has delivered amazing performances in Dhadak and Beyond the Clouds. The actor had to romance Tabu in a scene in the film. On being asked about the romantic scene between Tabu, and him Ishaan said, 'It was easy to romance Tabu. Because that person is Tabu, it really does half the job for you. She’s mesmerising and that’s why it’s easy for me to play the besotted lover.'
