Ali Abbas Zafar’s next with Ahaan Panday to be extensively shot in the UK
Ahaan Panday, fresh off the success of ‘Saiyaara’, is set to collaborate with director Ali Abbas Zafar for his next cinematic venture, which will be filmed extensively across the UK. According to reports, Zafar will travel to England in December 2025 for a month-long location recce, ahead of the shoot commencing in February 2026.
The action drama, produced by Aditya Chopra, will be primarily shot in London, Birmingham, and Manchester, with additional sequences planned in Leeds. A source told Mid-Day, “Ahaan’s Saiyaara earned over ₹550 crore globally, which has given Ali and Aditya Sir the confidence to go all out with his second film. The director will spend most of December scouting locations that will enhance the storytelling on screen. Around 80 to 90 per cent of the film will be shot in England.”
