While there have been speculations around Aneet's next project being a streaming release leading to significant buzz and talks about Aneet being commissioned for an OTT project even after delivering one of the biggest hits in recent times. However, there's a twist in the story. While it's true that her next project is a streaming title, the other side of the story is that the show was shot before 'Saiyaara', and was already in pipeline, but the scheduling of the projects shifted the timelines of release, and 'Saiyaara' got released first. 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.
