Ananya Panday’s cousin, Ahaan Panday, is gearing up for his Bollywood debut in a romantic drama directed by Mohit Suri. The movie’s title is yet to be revealed by the filmmakers. Ahaan, the nephew of actor Chunky Panday, was signed as a YRF Talent about five years ago and underwent intensive training programs personally devised by Aditya Chopra.
According to a source, Ahaan has been mentored by Aditya Chopra for years, with YRF keeping his development discreet to allow him to focus on building his craft. The source emphasized that Ahaan’s launch is considered a significant debut in the Hindi film industry, showcasing YRF’s intention to build him into a star. The upcoming project is a Mohit Suri love story.
The source mentioned that Ahaan underwent assessments by Mohit Suri to determine if he was the right fit for the lead role in the romantic drama. Impressively, Ahaan, under Mohit’s supervision, excelled in auditions and multiple screen tests. Mohit Suri was particularly excited about Ahaan’s potential as a fresh and charismatic hero for the big screen.
The film, set to commence filming in 2024, is the first production under the supervision of YRF’s CEO, Akshaye Widhani. YRF has a history of launching successful careers in the industry, including stars like Anushka Sharma, Ranveer Singh, and Ayushmann Khurrana.
