According to YRF, Ahaan was groomed by Aditya Chopra and 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 auditions 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 impressed him with his auditions and multiple screen tests! Mohit wanted a fresh, young actor with the charisma to be a hero on the big screen, and he is supremely excited about Ahaan's potential,' informed a trade source.

Directed by Mohit Suri, Saiyaara is set to hit theatres on July 18 later this year. (ANI)
