Entertainment Sep 29, 2025

Aditya Chopra is backing the project, which starts filming in early 2026.

Film to start shooting in early 2026

Zafar is returning to the action romance genre that made hits like Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai.
After Saiyaara's success, Chopra picked Ahaan because of his underexposure and the excitement following Saiyaara's success.
With the script locked and music underway, the film promises to show off Ahaan's range with drama, romance, and high-energy action—plus plenty of prep to give him a new on-screen look.
Perfect for anyone watching out for Bollywood's rising stars.
