Ishaan will portray the role of Brigadier Balram Singh Mehta in the movie. Pippa is set against the backdrop of the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. The movie also stars Priyanshu Painyuli and Soni Razdan.

Apart from Pippa, Ishaan will be seen in the horror-comedy, Phone Bhoot, which also stars Katrina Kaif and Siddhant Chaturvedi. The actor was last seen in Khaali Peeli which starred Ananya Panday as the female lead. The movie had got a direct-to-digital release on Zee5 on a pay-per-view basis.
