Saiyaara star Ahaan Panday acted alongside his uncle Chunky Panday in a short film titled 'Fifty' nine years ago. The video has now gone viral, leaving fans impressed!
Ahaan Panday recently made his Bollywood debut with Mohit Suri's film Saiyaara, and his performance in the film left the audience spellbound. Amid the roaring success of the Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda starrer, the popularity of both debutant actors has soared, with several of their old photos and videos now resurfacing. A nine-year-old short film featuring Ahaan Panday and his uncle Chunky Panday has gone viral, with fans impressed by Ahaan's performance at such a young age. Netizens lauded his dedication to the craft, with many declaring that he is here to stay in Bollywood.
The short film, titled Fifty, stars Ahaan Panday and Chunky Panday. In the emotional short film, directed by Manav Chauhan, a schoolboy (played by Ahaan) gives up smoking and uses that money to help a street child go to school. Years later, the same boy—now grown up—returns the kindness by funding the cancer treatment of the older man (played by Chunky Panday), who was once that schoolboy. The short film was shared on Reddit's BollyBlindsNGossip page with the caption, 'It's a nice short film with a good social message, popped up in my recommendations after I've been listening to saiyaara songs." Soon, Reddit users gushed over Ahaan's acting in the short film, stating that it's evident he has been working on his craft for many years. Check out the video below!
'Even here Ahaan was dripping with the x factor, and he improved his acting even more than this already decent performance. That alone shows he is here to stay, doing better and better with each work with his passion and humility. He is going to give sleepless nights to half of bollywood with his presence, that's for sure, now and forever," wrote one netizen, while another one commented, 'We can see he's worked on himself and he has that passion to actually stay here. Bro is Bollywood paglu."
Meanwhile, one netizen commented on the YouTube video, and wrote, 'Now that's how you use your privilege to prepare yourself and become better and better! He never took his privilege for granted! Ahaan Pandey is truly here to shine!" while another one wrote, 'Watching this after saiyaara..this guy Ahaan is born to be a actor for sure ,lambi race ka ghoda."

Peacemaker season 2: Which DC villains are hunting John Cena's antihero?

John Cena's Christopher Smith is gearing up for a brutal fight in Peacemaker season 2. The HBO Max series, directed by James Gunn, returns August 21 after more than three years, bringing with it a mix of new heroes and a roster of villains drawn straight from DC's archives. Gunn has confirmed that six heavy-hitting antagonists will appear this season, setting the stage for chaos, reports The Direct. Peacemaker Season 2: John Cena's Christopher Smith is set to face new and old villains this time.(Screengrab/YouTube) This second outing is not just about action.

In season 1, Robert Patrick's Auggie Smith - Peacemaker's abusive father - met his end. But footage from season 2 shows a new White Dragon costume, this time with a blue color scheme. The video hints it could be Auggie reappearing in visions, as he did during the season 1 finale, or someone entirely new carrying the mantle. Frank Grillo's Rick Flag Sr. also joins the season, gunning for revenge after Peacemaker killed his son, Rick Flag Jr., in The Suicide Squad. That showdown promises some of the most emotionally charged moments this season, according to The Direct.
