Ahaan Panday Has Always Been A Massive Ranbir Kapoor Fan. Here's What We Know
Ahaan Panday is currently basking in the limelight coming his way because of the humongous success of his debut film, Saiyaara. Co-starring Aneet Padda in the lead, this Mohit Suri film continues to break box office records.
However, before his smashing debut, Ahaan Panday was a bonafide Dubsmash star. His old videos have been making the rounds online. One of them is Ahaan Panday recreating some iconic scenes and songs starring Ranbir Kapoor.
From lipsing to Channa Mereya from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil to the Bachna Ae Haseeno title track, Ahaan Panday indeed is a Ranbir Kapoor fan, and there's ample proof. He also dances to Dilliwaali Girlfriend from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and performs a dialogue from Rockstar.

When Ahaan Panday Was Trolled For Recreating SRK's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil Dialogue
While there are several snippets of Ahaan Panday doing his version of Ranbir Kapoor songs and dialogues, there is another Ae Dil Hai Mushkil of his, which led to trolling. An old video of Ahaan Panday has resurfaced, where he tried to recreate Shah Rukh Khan's iconic dialogue from Karan Johar's film.
In the video, Ahaan Panday is seen voicing Shah Rukh Khan's dialogue from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, where he says, " Ek tarfa pyaar ki taqat hi kuch aur hoti hai. Auron ke rishton ki tarah yeh do logon mein nahin batti. Sirf mera haq hai iss pe."
However, 2 years back, when this video went viral on Reddit, Ahaan Panday was mercilessly trolled.
Saiyaara
The year is 2025 now, and after prepping for 3 years, Ahaan Panday has officially made his big Bollywood debut with Saiyaara opposite Aneet Padda. Helmed by Mohit Suri and bankrolled by Yash Raj Films, the film has opened up to massive love from the audience.
In A Nutshell
Another Dubsmash video of Ahaan Panday went viral online, where he is seen grooving to Ranbir Kapoor songs and delivering some of his famous dialogues. These old videos have been trending again on social media amid the blockbuster opening of Ahaan Panday's debut film, Saiyaara.

Now on day 6,, 'Saiyaara' has collected Rs 21.00 crore. The Wednesday numbers have seen a slight drop as compared to Tuesday. However, that was also expected since there were more footfalls on Tuesday due to discounted ticket prices in some national chains. The film's total collection so far, according to Sacnilk, is Rs 153.25 Cr crore. Even 's 'Sikandar' had failed to cross Rs 100 crore in its first four days.

Saiyaara: 4 Reasons Why Mohit Suri's Hero Ahaan Panday Has Become Overnight Star & Internet's Darling
Let's now take a quick look at what makes Ahaan the internet's latest obsession and subject of massive fan frenzy: Resurgence of the romantic hero This is the age of action thrillers and political-motivated patriotic films. Every Friday brings to us yet another larger-than-life action hero, who doesn't bat his eyelids before taking down a gang of goons with death-defying action sequences. At a time like this, Saiyaara, a mopey love story, has come as a breath of fresh air. The industry and the audience were awaiting the arrival of a romantic hero and Ahaan's entrance seems to be a classic case of being at the right place at the right time. His Krish Kapoor is a rugged charmer. And he loves with all his heart. With a guitar in his hand and pain in his eyes, he has truly emerged as a modern-day lover boy. When his lady love fails to recognise him, a heartbroken and misty-eyed Krish plants a kiss on her forehead (of course, with consent). He shares a scintillating chemistry with Aneet. Plus, videos of him doing the rounds on the internet that show him grooving effortlessly to the beats of a timeless track makes him desirable. Could he be our modern-day Shah Rukh Khan? Those are big shoes to fill. But at least, we finally have a Gen-Z romantic hero, who will sweep you off your feet! Noteworthy acting chops Ahaan has been winning raving reviews for his debut act in Saiyaara. Years of training and patience have surely borne a sweet, sweet fruit. Even in the most emotionally dramatic and chaotic scenes, his restraint is palpable. His screen presence is luminous. His quite vulnerability and eloquent pair of eyes are signs of masculinity that isn't quite afraid to embrace its flaws and emotionality. In Saiyaara, he truly delivers an act that can make even the experienced and seasoned envious. Ahaan's debut can best be compared to Ranbir Kapoor's. Both these performances – Ahaan in Saiyaara and Ranbir in Saawariya – bear a testament to the fact that if you have talent that sparkles and shines all the way even in a bumpy film, you're sure to soar. It's understandable why the film achieved the feat for being the highest grossing film featuring debutants. The enigma factor Saiyaara has managed to break old records and set many new ones with a unique and clever promotional strategy. These feats have happened without the actors being exposed to the public glare and without any traditional publicity and marketing approach – zero interviews, zero city visits, no reels, no influencer content. That's what perhaps explains this euphoria and frenzy surrounding this new actor, Ahaan. This secrecy and limited visibility (only through old Dubsmash videos and Alanna's vlogs) have definitely amped up the intrigue surrounding him. At a time when actors go all out to promote their films – engaging in multi-city tours and mall visits – Ahaan is a strong reminder of the old times when actors were elusive. And that directly translated into footfalls in theatres. And even with the massive success the film has and continues to witness, Ahaan along with Aneet has pretty much continued to stay away from limelight. No success interviews, limited paparazzi videos, zero theatre visits. Smart move! advetisement Boy next door

Saiyaara Getting A Sequel After Blockbuster Success? Shaan, Who Played Mahesh Iyer, REACTS
Last Updated: Saiyaara fans are speculating a sequel featuring Krish, Vaani and Mahesh. Shaan R Grover responds to the buzz and shares emotional fan reactions. After Saiyaara's box office storm, fans are already dreaming about a sequel and now, one of the film's key characters is reacting to the buzz. While Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's characters Krish Kapoor and Vaani Batra find a fairytale ending in Mohit Suri's romantic drama, fans haven't stopped thinking about the antagonist, Mahesh Iyer, played by Shaan R Grover. In an interview with Zoom, Shaan shared his thoughts on the possibility of Saiyaara 2. 'As far as my character is concerned, a lot can be done later. Mahesh just vanished; it was abrupt," he said, before adding, 'Maybe it can be explored if these characters decide to go on a different journey. What if Vaani wants to meet Mahesh one last time, that could be a different character arc for Krish. There are no talks for the sequel right now. It depends on YRF and Mohit Suri." Interestingly, AI-generated fan art showing Krish and Vaani as parents has been going viral, further fuelling speculation about a sequel. Shaan also revealed how he and Aneet Padda prepared for the emotionally complex dynamic between their characters. 'Aneet and I had chemistry workshops. They were for us to bond with each other. When we have rehearsed, those scenes flow easily," he said. 'It was also to show that we dated for five years. For the backstory in the original script I had read, we had dated for five years and that's a long relationship. It shouldn't have felt that we met 2-3 months ago." On playing a morally grey character, he confessed, 'Of course, it is not easy to play such characters. I am not Mahesh Iyer. That's not how I function… A friend of mine experienced something similar and couldn't stop crying while watching Aneet's performance. Her 7-year-long relationship broke because her partner didn't want to marry and then ghosted her. That's when I realised that people like Mahesh do exist." Directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Yash Raj Films, Saiyaara released in theatres on July 18 and has since crossed Rs 150 crore at the box office.
