Filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar has officially commenced shooting for his latest project, a high-stakes action romance produced under the Yash Raj Films (YRF) banner.

The announcement, made through Zafar's Instagram handle, has already sparked excitement among cinephiles.

Alongside the post, Zafar shared a striking first-look image of Saiyaara fame Ahaan Panday, intensely gazing behind a classic YRF clapboard.

Zafar captioned the post writing, "And it BEGINS," tagging Panday and YRF.

While the film remains untitled for now, the project is shaping up as a star-studded, large-scale entertainer.

Alongside Ahaan Panday, the ensemble cast includes Sharvari, Bobby Deol, and Aaishvary Thackeray.

Zafar, acclaimed for directing blockbuster hits such as Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai, is expected to infuse this venture with his signature stylish cinematic flair.

In February, Ali Abbas Zafar first teased the project by posting a picture of him and actor Ahaan Panday posing together in front of a studio setting.

In the caption, he wrote, "Power isn't given ..It's TAKEN ... Ready to Roll @ahaanpandayy"

Ahaan Panday was last seen in Mohit Suri's Saiyaara co-starring Aneet Padda, which follows the love story of a singer and a lyricist, Krish and Vaani. The film has been widely appreciated for its emotional depth, performances, and soulful music. ANI
