Ahaan Panday, who recently impressed audiences as a passionate lover boy in *Saiyaara*, is gearing up for a bold new challenge. The actor will undergo a rigorous three-month physical transformation and intensive training for his upcoming project with director Ali Abbas Zafar.
The untitled film, produced under the prestigious Yash Raj Films banner, will mark Panday’s transition into an action-packed role, showcasing him in a completely different avatar.
**A New Macho Look**
According to sources, Zafar, returning to YRF after directing hits like *Sultan* and *Tiger Zinda Hai*, aims to present Ahaan as a young, macho masala film hero. This role demands a distinct and powerful physique, setting him apart from the softer romantic image he portrayed in *Saiyaara*.
“Ahaan has fully committed to this transformation and is scheduled to begin his training in December,” a source revealed to PeepingMoon.
**Production and Timeline**
The shooting of the film is slated to commence at the end of March 2026. Sharvari, known for her performance in *Munjya*, has been confirmed as the leading lady opposite Ahaan.
Aditya Chopra, head of YRF and a mentor to Panday, has advised the young actor to avoid public appearances during his transformation period. This strategy is aimed at keeping the new look under wraps and building anticipation.
Chopra is optimistic about Ahaan’s potential, hoping to establish him as a larger-than-life action hero who still retains the romantic charm that won hearts in *Saiyaara*.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting journey of Ahaan Panday’s transformation and his upcoming YRF venture.
