After the success of Saiyaara, actor Ahaan Panday is preparing for a completely different kind of role in his second movie. According to a report by Variety India, he will play a gangster in a new action-romance film directed by Ali Abbas Zafar.

This role is quite a change from his first film, where he played a troubled musician dealing with past issues.

 For this new project, Ahaan is said to have trained hard, including learning how to fight and use weapons, to match the character's intense and aggressive presence on screen.

The report also mentions that Jimmy Shergill has joined the cast in an important role.

 This film is his comeback to work with Yash Raj Films after more than 20 years. One of his most famous roles with the company was in Mohabbatein, where he acted with Shah Rukh Khan.

So far, there is no official information about the story or other cast members.

 However, the film is being described as a fast-paced action-romance that tells a love story against a backdrop of violence. Filming started in Mumbai on April 3 and will continue there through the month. The next part of the shoot is expected to take place in London in May. The makers plan to finish filming by July and have a theatrical release planned for early 2027.
