The buzz around the debut of Ahaan started last year when YRF Studios called the actor 'YRF Next Big Hero' as per their website.

According to YRF, the actor Ahaan was groomed by Aditya Chopra and had trained at YRF for over six years before signing the film.

Prior to signing the film, the actor was introduced to director Mohit Suri for auditioning and screen tests.

'Ahaan was introduced to Mohit Suri so that the director could assess if he was the right actor to headline his film and be the quintessential romantic hero. Ahaan worked under Mohit's supervision and floored him with his auditions and multiple screen tests! Mohit wanted a fresh, young boy who had the charisma to be a hero on the big screen, and he is supremely excited about Ahaan's potential,' informed a trade source.

Ahaan Panday has also served as an Assistant Director on notable projects like 'The Railway Men' and 'Mardaani 2'. (ANI)
