Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri, became a major hit earlier this year.
Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda gained widespread recognition for their performances.
Fans are eager to see the duo in their next projects.
Rumors About Upcoming Projects
Aneet Padda is reportedly in talks to replace kiara advani in Maddock Films’ shakti Shalini.
Ahaan Panday is said to be considered for a high-octane action-romance backed by yash Raj Films (YRF).
Ali abbas Zafar, known for Tiger Zinda Hai and Sultan, is reportedly directing the project.
YRF chief aditya chopra is closely involved in the film’s development.
Ahaan Panday as a romantic Action Hero
Ali abbas Zafar aims to blend drama, romance, and action, as he did in his previous films.
Ahaan’s performance in Saiyaara impressed Zafar, especially in emotional and dramatic scenes.
Aditya Chopra suggested Ahaan for the role, highlighting his “underexposure” as an advantage.
The script is finalized, and filming is expected to start in Q1 2026.
Fan Reactions: Excitement and Anticipation
Many fans are thrilled about the collaboration between Ahaan, Zafar, and YRF.
Comments highlight hopes for fewer VFX-heavy sequences and a focus on emotional storytelling.
Rumors suggest a possible boxing theme, signaling a return to Ali abbas Zafar’s storytelling roots.
Concerns About Ahaan’s Career Path
Some critics feel Ahaan may be rushed into action films too early.
Successful action stars like salman khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Hrithik Roshan started with romantic roles first.
Critics argue audiences may prefer seeing Ahaan in more romantic dramas or romcoms initially.
Some feel Saiyaara’s success stemmed more from music and romance than action sequences.
