If it were me, I would be embarrassed for my phone, which has these videos; I would probably burn the phone's chip so that the videos never see the light of day. These nepo babies have confidence, bhai. Instead of that, maybe go act in a stage play, god forbid, engage with the low-level people and act in dimly lit theatres for the love of the craft (sic)." I have no words. by u/superstarheaven in BollyBlindsNGossip Someone else wrote, "Ananya and Ahaan should do a movie together, let's see who spoils the role better." Another Internet user mentioned, "He has such weird and non-emoting eyes." 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 While Ahaan Panday is being hailed for his debut performance in Mohit Suri's Saiyaara, there was a time he was severely trolled for recreating Shah Rukh Khan's dialogue from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.

Mohit Suri Says Ahaan Panday Nearly Lost Saiyaara Due To SRK Mimicry Video: 'He's Such A Wicked Guy'
Ahaan Panday almost lost Saiyaara because of his SRK mimicry videos, says Mohit Suri. 'People told him—do you want to mimic or act?' Before Ahaan Panday made his much-talked-about Bollywood debut with Saiyaara, the internet had already formed its opinion. Old videos of the young actor mimicking Shah Rukh Khan and recreating iconic scenes from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Mohabbatein had gone viral, drawing widespread criticism and raising doubts about his potential as a serious actor. Now, in a candid conversation with Radio Nasha, director Mohit Suri has revealed that Ahaan almost missed his shot at Saiyaara because of those very clips. 'Usne bhut pehle, industry main aane se pehle kuch kiya tha. Meri wife ne dekha tha aur unhe laga bhut endearing hai. Maine dekha nahi tha," Mohit said, addressing the now-infamous mimicry videos. ('He had done something a long time ago, before entering the industry. My wife had seen it and found it very endearing. I hadn't seen it.") Mohit added that by the time he got involved in the project, Ahaan had already removed the videos. 'People were telling him, 'Do you want to do mimicry or become an actor?'" he shared. The casting process, according to the director, was more complex than expected. 'When I came on board, Adi sir told me, 'I have a guy who's perfect for you,' after reading the script, and he made me meet Ahaan. But Ahaan wasn't going to get the film because of the auditions he was giving at that time." Even after meeting Ahaan in person, Mohit wasn't convinced. 'I met him, and even in his behaviour, I didn't see anything that matched the character in my film. He is a very sweet, nice boy, and I told Adi, 'He's nothing like what you're saying.'" But things took a turn when Aditya Chopra made an unusual suggestion. 'Adi said, 'Do one thing — go to dinner with him and tell him he's not getting the role.' That night, I was with him till 3 am. By the end of the night, I saw my character in him," Mohit recalled. Despite never having watched the SRK mimicry video, Mohit revealed that Ahaan finally sent them to him—but only after wrapping the shoot. 'He's such a wicked guy — after completing the film, he WhatsApped me all his terrible audition videos, saying, 'Look who you've cast'." Directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Yash Raj Films, Saiyaara stars Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda in lead roles. The film blends romance and music, with a powerful soundtrack from composers like Mithoon, Sachet-Parampara, Vishal Mishra, and Tanishk Bagchi. With strong word-of-mouth and growing social media buzz, the film is already shaping up to be a box-office winner.

Ahaan Panday almost lost Saiyaara due to his mimicry video of Shah Rukh Khan? Mohit Suri says, ‘Meri wife ne dekha aur…'
Filmmaker Mohit Suri is back with yet another romantic drama, titled Saiyaara, which marks the Bollywood debut of Ananya Panday's cousin, Ahaan Panday. When the film was announced, Ahaan's old video mimicking Shah Rukh Khan and recreating his iconic scenes from films like Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Mohabbatein surfaced on the internet, leading to immense criticism. Now, in an interview with Radio Nasha, Mohit has revealed that Ahaan almost lost the role in Saiyaara because of those videos. Mohit Suri reveals how Ahaan Panday bagged Saiyaara. Mohit Suri on Ahaan's mimicry videos When asked about the rumours that Ahaan was almost rejected for Saiyaara due to his mimicry videos of Shah Rukh Khan, Mohit denied it and said, "Usne bhut pehle, industry main aane se pehle kuch kiya tha. Meri wife ne dekha tha aur unhe laga bhut endearing hai. Maine dekha nahi tha (He had done something a long time ago, before entering the industry. My wife had seen it and found it very endearing. I hadn't seen it). By the time I came across him, he had taken it down because people were telling him, 'Do you want to do mimicry or become an actor?' When I came on board, Adi sir told me, 'I have a guy who's perfect for you,' after reading the script, and he made me meet Ahaan. But Ahaan wasn't going to get the film because of the auditions he was giving at that time." He recalled how he initially believed Ahaan was nothing similar to the character in Saiyaara and said, "I met him, and even in his behaviour, I didn't see anything that matched the character in my film. He is a very sweet, nice boy, and I told Adi, 'He's nothing like what you're saying.' Then Adi said, 'Do one thing — go to dinner with him and tell him he's not getting the role.' That night, I was with him till 3 am. By the end of the night, I saw my character in him. I've still never seen his mimicry video of Shah Rukh Khan. He's such a wicked guy — after completing the film, he WhatsApped me all his terrible audition videos, saying, 'Look who you've cast'." About Saiyaara Mohit Suri helmed the film, which was produced by YRF. Saiyaara is a romantic musical drama starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda in lead roles. Its music is by a powerful line-up, including Mithoon, Sachet-Parampara, Vishal Mishra, Tanishk Bagchi, and more. The movie has garnered a positive response from the audience and is set to have a bumper opening.
