PIX: Behind the scenes of Udta Punjab

While everyone is raving about Shahid Kapoor's performance in Abhishek Chaubey's directorial venture Udta Punjab, not many are aware of the fact that the actor's younger brother Ishaan Khattar was also a part of the controversial drug-themed film.

Ishaan worked as an assistant director, and going by the photographs on his Instagram account, it seems the young lad really enjoyed his job.

Here's a look at the action behind the camera.

Perks of being an AD: You get to try a new hairstyle.

Ishaan aptly captioned this picture, 'Great love and respect for the nameless girl whose name everybody knows. Go watch Udta Punjab.'

That's Shahid Kapoor trying to unleash the rockstar within him.

Ishaan sounds the clap board.

Ishaan takes some time off from a long work day.
