In a surprising revelation that's set social media ablaze, director
Mohit Suri has candidly described his
Saiyaara leading man,
Ahaan Panday, as 'full chapri' (a colloquial term for someone loud, boisterous, and sometimes unrefined, often associated with a certain kind of internet persona). Suri, basking in the massive success of
Saiyaara, recently revealed that the blockbuster film couldn't fully showcase Ahaan's true, energetic TikToker personality due to the script's demands.
Ahaan Panday, nephew of
Chunky Panday and cousin of
Ananya Panday, has become an overnight sensation with his debut in
Saiyaara. While his on-screen portrayal in the romantic drama has garnered immense praise for its emotional depth and intensity, Suri’s comments shed light on a completely different facet of the young actor's real-life persona.
The "Chapri" Revelation and Deleted TikToks
Speaking to trade analyst Komal Nahta, Mohit Suri stated, "You haven't seen the videos he pulled down. TikToker hai yeh ladka. Full chapri hai. He's a full, out-there, galleried, Gaiety Galaxy boy jo Bandra mein hai." (You haven't seen the videos he deleted—this guy is a total TikToker! He's a loud, energetic, over-the-top Gaiety Galaxy boy from Bandra.)
Suri's remarks confirm that Ahaan, prior to his mainstream debut, was quite active on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, creating content that showcased a much more boisterous and "front-bencher" appeal. These videos, however, were reportedly removed by Ahaan before Saiyaara's release, presumably to align with his polished, debut film image.
Untapped Potential and Future Collaborations
The director emphasized that while Ahaan delivered a stellar performance in Saiyaara, the film only scratched the surface of his capabilities. The intense and brooding character of Krish Kapoor in Saiyaara didn't allow for the exploration of Ahaan's flamboyant, "gallery man" dancing style and his overall energetic personality.
"Sir, maine toh ek dimension bhi inmein nahi chh*a hai," (Sir, I haven't even touched one dimension of him yet) Suri stated, hinting at Ahaan's untapped potential. He expressed a keen interest in exploring this "full chapri" side of Ahaan in future projects, suggesting that audiences have much more to see from the new star.
Saiyaara's Record-Breaking Success
Saiyaara, also starring Aneet Padda, has been a phenomenal box office success, crossing over ₹400 crore worldwide and establishing itself as one of the highest-grossing Indian love stories. The film's success with debutants like Ahaan Panday is a testament to Mohit Suri's vision and the fresh chemistry between the lead pair.
Ahaan's journey from viral online content to a successful big-screen debut has been a topic of interest. Despite his industry lineage, early reports and resurfaced videos suggest Ahaan has consistently worked on his craft, demonstrating a strong passion for acting. This new revelation from Mohit Suri only adds another intriguing layer to the burgeoning star's public persona, leaving fans curious to see what "full chapri" magic Ahaan Panday might bring to the screen next.
