After creating box office history with his debut movie Saiyaara — the all-time highest-grossing love story in Indian cinema — Ahaan Panday is ready to embark on his next big chapter. The breakout Gen Z star is teaming up with blockbuster director Ali Abbas Zafar for an action romance produced by Yash Raj Films, marking Ali’s return to the banner he fondly calls his alma mater.
Ahaan Panday flaunts new look
Ahaan recently set social media abuzz by dropping his new look — rugged, intense, and nothing like the endearing lover boy audiences fell for in Saiyaara. This is in stark contrast to his look in Saiyaara where he flaunted a messy long hair in tune with his character. His new look sees him carry a short hair and neat beard.
Take a look:
About Ahaan`s next film
A source close to the actor told IANS, “Ahaan Panday came from nowhere and became the biggest Gen Z star of the country with a theatrical pull that is rare for any debutant to have!”
“Aditya Chopra and Ali Abbas Zafar were clear that his next had to be a love story again but he needs to be presented in a whole new avatar and the flavour of action in this romance makes it a super fresh film.”
Another source said, “After Saiyaara, Ahaan is immensely loved by everyone, especially by young boys and girls, for his brilliant acting as a dedicated lover who never stops supporting his alzeimer-stricken girlfriend! His performance made people cry in theatres and the makers wanted to take forward the emotion that people currently have for him with his next film.”
