Ahaan Panday is being launched in Bollywood by Aditya Chopra's Yash Raj Films (YRF). His launch is by far the biggest debut by a youngster in the Hindi film industry in years and YRF is showing its intent to create a star out of him.

For his prep, Ahaan recently met British icon and musician Ed Sheeran and also got his guitar autographed by the global singing sensation!

Ahaan was signed as a Yash Raj Films Talent five years ago to go through intensive training programs devised by the production company's Chairman and Managing Director, Aditya Chopra, who believes he has the potential to become one of India's top actors.

Yash Raj CEO Akshaye Widhani is producing this yet untitled project. Aditya Chopra has empowered Akshaye and his leadership team to build creative partnerships with the most brilliant minds in the Hindi film industry and this project is a result of that decision.

Ahaan is currently working under Mohit's supervision after flooring 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.

Ahaan's film is set to go on floors later this year. An official announcement of the female lead actor will be made soon.
