After the massive success of Saiyaara, Ahaan Panday has started the shoot for his next film with Ali Abbas Zafar. The filmmaker took to social media to announce that the shooting commenced today. Besides Ahaan, the Yash Raj Films-backed project will also star Sharvari and Nishaanchi star Aaishvary Thackeray.

Zafar shared a photo with the actor which seemed to be taken on the location of the shoot. Both of them looked dashing in black outfits, paired with jackets. In the picture, the filmmaker can be seen placing his hands on Ahaan’s shoulder. He captioned the post as, “Power isn’t Given ..Its TAKEN … Ready to Roll @ahaanpandayy”

Take a look:

As per reports, the team will shoot in Mumbai first, before flying to London in May this year. Ahaan is expected to film a large-scale action sequence in London and has been training extensively in hand-to-hand combat practice and weapon training.

Ali Abbas Zafar is known for delivering large-scale, mass-appeal entertainers such as Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai, and trade experts believe this upcoming project will be mounted on a similar scale. The story is said to be rooted in romance while featuring high-energy action, dramatic emotions and sequences designed to deliver a big-screen experience.

Earlier, another report suggested that the filmmaker is going to present Ahaan in a completely different avatar. Pinkvilla quoted a source as saying, “The director wants to present his star in a jaw-dropping manner. The captain of the ship is known for presenting the biggest superstars in auras that people have loved, and he is excited to work with a young star like Ahaan now and do something insanely exciting. We have to wait for the film’s asset to know what he has in mind.”

Reports also state that Zafar has signed Nishaanchi actor Aaishvary Thackeray to play the main antagonist in the film.
