Action-Packed Birthday: Ahaan Panday Begins Rigorous Training for Ali Abbas Zafar’s Next Film!

 

Gen Z heartthrob Ahaan Panday is trading birthday celebrations for combat training! In an exclusive scoop, the actor, fresh off the success of his blockbuster debut Saiyyara, has reportedly started his intensive action preparation for his highly anticipated next film, an action-romance directed by the action maestro Ali Abbas Zafar.

 

In a striking display of dedication, Ahaan is said to have kicked off his rigorous training schedule—which is set to span over 60 days—on the very day of his birthday, confirming his commitment to the challenging role.

 

 

Ali Abbas Zafar’s New Protégé: A 60-Day Transformation

Known for redefining the action avatars of superstars like Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, Ali Abbas Zafar is now set to mold Ahaan Panday into a "brute force of nature" for his upcoming project with Yash Raj Films (YRF).

• Intense Schedule: The preparation involves over 60 days of non-stop, high-intensity action training, with Ahaan reportedly devoting up to five hours a day to the regimen.
• Training Disciplines: The training will begin with boxing before moving onto mixed martial arts (MMA) and comprehensive strength training necessary to bulk up for the screen.
• Director's Vision: Ali Abbas Zafar is personally guiding Ahaan's prep, aiming to present the young star in a "jaw-dropping manner" that no one would anticipate, steering him into a fierce action hero territory, a stark contrast to his romantic lead role in Saiyyara.

 

The Action-Romance Cast and Timeline

The film, which is one of the most awaited follow-ups to Ahaan's record-breaking debut, is an action-romance co-starring the talented Sharvari.

 

• Co-Star: Sharvari (who is also reportedly undergoing action prep for her role).
• Antagonist: The film features veteran actor Bobby Deol in a crucial antagonist role with grey shades.
• Filming Location: The shoot is expected to commence in the UK around March 2026, with an extensive three-month schedule planned across Europe.

 

 

Skipping Cake for Combat: Ahaan’s Dedication

 

The coincidence of starting his arduous training on his birthday showcases Ahaan’s commitment to his second film. Having delivered the highest-grossing romantic film in Indian cinema history with his debut Saiyyara, the expectations for his collaboration with director Ali Abbas Zafar are incredibly high.

 

The move from romantic hero to action star is a deliberate and strategic one, backed by one of the biggest action filmmakers in the country. This intense preparation phase signals that YRF and Ali Abbas Zafar are ready to unleash a powerhouse young action hero onto the screen.
