Saiyaara star Aneet Padda will next be seen in an OTT series titled Nyaya, industry sources stated on Sunday. Although there is no official confirmation on the show yet, apparently it was shot before the actor signed Saiyaara. The series has been directed by Nitya Mehra and her husband, Karan Kapadia. Nitya also helmed Aneet’s debut series Big Girls Don’t Cry (2024).

Recently social media was abuzz with reports that Aneet’s next will be an OTT series. Many expressed shock that after delivering a theatrical blockbuster, Aneet will land on the small screen. An industry source clarified, “Aneet is a big screen heroine for YRF. Nyaya was shot before she signed Saiyaara and it has no bearing on her career trajectory as a theatrical heroine going forward.”

“She is a true Gen Z star at the age of just 22 and will be preserved for theatricals. There are huge plans to make her the face of a generation and that can be achieved only by consolidating her theatrical equity,” they added.

As per a Peeping Moon report, Nyaya will star Aneet along with Fatima Sana Shaikh and Arjun Mathur. It is a fictionalised show based on real-life events. "The show was filmed last year and is now slated to premiere on a major OTT platform soon. It promises to be a gripping story about the complexities of faith and the law. Fatima plays a determined police officer, while Aneet takes on the gritty role of a 17-year-old girl fighting for justice after being sexually assaulted by a powerful spiritual leader," stated the report.

Meanwhile, Saiyaara has overtaken Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par, Ajay Devgn’s Raid 2 and Akshay Kumar’s Housefull 5 to become the second highest grosser of the year, only behind Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava. The romantic-drama, directed by Mohit Suri, also stars Ahaan Panday.
