Ahaan Panday joins Ali Abbas Zafar ahead of new film shoot
Ali Abbas Zafar and Ahaan Panday have sparked fresh excitement around their upcoming collaboration after being photographed together ahead of the film’s shoot. The image, which quickly circulated among fans, has added momentum to a project already generating strong industry buzz, particularly as it marks Panday’s first major leading role following his breakout in ‘Saiyaara’.
Filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar has shared a new picture with the young actor, a small but telling glimpse that signals their next venture is moving from announcement buzz to real, on‑ground preparation. With Yash Raj Films backing the project, the photo effectively serves as a soft launch for what is being positioned as a glossy, star‑making action romance. The pairing of a rising talent with a director known for large‑scale commercial cinema has only heightened expectations.
