Ahaan's new avatar: Vijay hails ‘immensely talented’ star

'Beparwah', Ahaan Panday’s upcoming film with Ali Abbas Zafar, might help him break free from the image he has carried since 'Saiyaara'. Vijay Ganguly, the choreographer on the project, offers a hint of what’s in store, suggesting that audiences will see a lighter, more playful Ahaan, complete with some dance moves.

Vijay Ganguly says Ahaan Panday is talented

Speaking to Variety India about Ahaan’s work in the film, Ganguly said, “He has done some good, fun stuff. People will see him in a very different light than what they’ve seen in ‘Saiyaara.’ Ahaan is immensely talented and having someone like him today is very refreshing for the makers and the audience.”

The choreographer also revealed that dancing will feature in the actor’s performance. “We’ve explored a little bit of dancing,” shares the choreographer. His comments indicate a change of pace for Ahaan post 'Saiyaara', as the Ali Abbas Zafar directorial lets him experiment with a new screen presence.
