Aneet's next streaming project, titled 'Nyaya', is directed by Nitya Mehra and her husband Karan Kapadia. 'Nyaya' was shot before Aneet signed 'Saiyaara'. A trade source said, 'Aneet is a big screen heroine for YRF. Nyaya was shot before she signed 'Saiyaara' and it has no bearing on her career trajectory as a theatrical heroine going forward.
