Following a remarkable success with Saiyaara, Ahaan Panday is gearing up for his next big role. The rising star joins forces with renowned director Ali Abbas Zafar for an action-packed romance, produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films. This project marks Zafar’s much-anticipated return to YRF, and it’s his fifth collaboration with Chopra.
Ahaan Panday’s new look
Fans adored Ahaan’s previous character, the long-haired, contemplative Krish Kapoor. In contrast, his new look is more rugged and sharp, a striking departure from the charming lover boy seen in Saiyaara. This upcoming film, which starts shooting in early 2026, promises to reveal a more intense side of Ahaan while retaining the emotional depth that has endeared him to audiences.
Fans have showered Ahaan’s new style with admiration, with one commenting, “Reason behind global warming.” Another added, “Never stop posting for my sanity..” Enthusiastic remarks ranged from “The new hair fits perfectly” to “Wow, short hair looks great on you!”
A Peek into His Personal Life
Interestingly, Ahaan debuted this striking look while celebrating his co-star and rumored partner Aneet Padda’s 23rd birthday. A viral clip showcases the duo sharing a tender moment, with Ahaan playfully feeding Aneet cake, and his cropped hairstyle capturing everyone’s intrigue.
Before the birthday celebration, Ahaan had already captured hearts with a thoughtful birthday message for Aneet, sharing unseen pictures from a memorable Coldplay concert they attended prior to Saiyaara‘s release. Fans, fondly referring to the pair as #Ahneet, quickly flooded social media with affectionate comments, saying it was the “cutest gift ever.”
With Saiyaara, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda revived the charm of classic love stories for a modern audience. Now, as he steps into this new film, Ahaan appears poised to embrace a bolder chapter in his career.
