After his blockbuster debut in Saiyaara (2025) Ahaan Panday is soon going to be seen in actioner helmed by Sultan (2016) and Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) director Ali Abbas Zafar. Recently, via a press note, Ali praising Ahaan said that the actor has an “old-school romantic hero charm.”
“What I love about Ahaan is his sincerity. In today’s time, when everything can feel performative and an act, he brings a kind of old-school honesty to his performance, like the romantic heroes we have grown up watching and loving. The camera picks up on that. You can’t act vulnerable on screen, it doesn’t land and he isn’t afraid to be vulnerable which is incredible,” he said.
Ali added, “Audiences have connected with Ahaan because he’s not trying to impress them. He’s simply present in the moment. There’s a softness to him but also strength. That balance is what makes people root for him, especially in love stories. I genuinely believe he has the potential to become one of those rare romantic heroes who make you feel something long after the film ends.”
As per reports, Ahaan will start Ali’s film on March 30 in Mumbai and then head to UK to shoot for about 60 days. The film also features Sharvari and is being backed by Yash Raj Films.
