Ahaan Panday, who is Ananya Panday’s cousin and Chunky Panday’s nephew, is all set to make his Bollywood debut with the upcoming film Saiyaara, where he stars opposite debutante Aneet Padda.
Following the release of the film’s first look and trailer, audiences have been quick to take notice of Ahaan’s screen presence, with many praising his performance and even calling him a “far good nepo kid,” applauding his talent over his lineage.
The makers unveiled the official trailer of Saiyaara on Tuesday, July 8.
The two-minute-forty-three-second video offered a glimpse into the emotional and romantic depth of the film, with Ahaan’s performance standing out as a highlight. Slated to release on July 18, the film has already created a buzz, with netizens appreciating Ahaan’s confident debut and natural flair, suggesting that he may be one of the more promising newcomers from a film family in recent times.
Several netizens took to X to praise his fresh look and performance in the film as seen in the trailer.
