Ahaan Panday Hints at Future Collaboration with Aryan Khan After Saiyaara Success

Bollywood actor Ahaan Panday has expressed interest in collaborating with emerging filmmaker Aryan Khan following the success of his recent project.

The 28-year-old actor, who gained recognition through his breakout role in Mohit Suri’s romantic musical drama Saiyaara, shared his thoughts during an interview with Filmfare. During the conversation, he praised Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, the Netflix series The Bads of Bollywood.

“I’m just genuinely happy for him,” Ahaan Panday said. “He’s finally doing what he’s always wanted to do. His first show connected with so many people, and it’s great to see that kind of acceptance. He’s incredibly creative, with a mind that stands apart, and I think the world deserves to see that.”

Panday highlighted that any potential collaboration would be based on their personal connection rather than industry trends. “Not for anything superficial—not because of The Bads or Saiyaara—but because of a real bond,” he explained. “There was a time when he’d land from Kent and, before even meeting his parents, he’d come straight to my house. When you share that kind of history, there’s so much to explore as performers. Working together won’t feel like work.”

The actor’s remarks come as Saiyaara continues to perform strongly, establishing itself as one of the year’s notable Bollywood releases. Looking ahead, Ahaan Panday is reportedly preparing for his next project with filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar.

The possibility of a collaboration between Panday and Aryan Khan has generated interest among fans, given their longstanding friendship and growing influence in the industry.
