Did You Know Saiyaara Wasn’t Ahaan Panday’s Original Debut Film? Here’s What Happened
Before Saiyaara, Ahaan Panday was all set to do a larger-than-life film before the pandemic.
Bollywood debutant Ahaan Panday has been making waves in the industry since his film Saiyaara broke all box office records. The chatter around him has increased massively, and fans are praising him for his good acting.

While this broke Panday’s heart, he still chose to debut with YRF.
Ahaan Panday’s Debut Film
During a conversation with Komal Nahta, Mohit Suri mentioned how Ahaan Panday was worshipping YRF for seven years. Before him, he was all set to do a larger-than-life film before the pandemic. This changed because the industry changed after the pandemic. Suri said, “Overnight, his pride and ‘guroor’ were killed. The same kid who was going around telling everyone that he would be launched by YRF was heartbroken.” People around him started teasing him about his shelved film.
Even though Aditya Chopra told Ahaan that he was still sure about his capabilities, the debutant was free to look for other opportunities. But he was adamant about being launched by YRF and finally got it. Meanwhile, his and Aneet Padda’s film is not slowing down. It follows the story of a musician known as Krish Kapoor and Vaani Batra, a soulful poet. The chemistry between the two actors was praised after the film. Netizens even started revisiting his sister Alanna Panday’s YouTube vlogs to get some more glimpse of the actor in his candid form.
