Ahaan Panday’s Fee: Saiyaara, Ahaan Panday’s debut film, made him an overnight sensation. Since its July 18 release, the movie has received overwhelmingly positive reviews from viewers, with internet users complimenting Ahaan’s acting abilities. How much did the young actor charge for his acting debut, though?
Industry insiders say that the typical cost for novices in a YRF-backed film is often between Rs 3 and Rs 5 crores, even though official data have not been released. However, Ahaan is thought to have made a little more than Aneet Padda because he hails from a well-known family.
The main characters of Saiyaara are Vaani Batra, a young journalist, and Krish Kapoor, an aspiring singer. As their love blossoms, they face many obstacles. The picture combines romance, ambition, and emotional drama and is set to a soundtrack that is already winning hearts.

Saiyaara, which Yash Raj Films produces, has gained not just attention for its collections but also for its unorthodox marketing strategy. In his X review, director Madhur Bhandarkar said, “Saiyaara has demolished every illusion about launching novices. It has nothing to do with who you know. What you bring is what matters. Sanjay Gupta, the director, agreed, praising YRF’s tactic of excluding the starring duo from pre-release advertising. They preserved the novelty just for the big screen. And observe how it has operated,” he wrote.
Ananya Panday’s Response to Saiyaara:
Ananya Panday proudly supported her cousin Ahaan at the special screening of Saiyaara. She shared a few emotional photos from the night on Instagram. In one photo, she gave Ahaan a tight hug, and in another, she posed with a sticker reading “Ahaan Panday Fan Club” stuck to her forehead. She captioned the post, “A star is born, my Saiyaara @ahaanpandayy.”
