Looks like Chunkey Panday's nephew Ahaan Panday is finally ready to begin his journey in Bollywood! While his cousin Ananya Panday is already gearing up for her Bollywood debut with Student Of The Year 2 co-starring Tiger Shroff and Pati Patni Aur Woh remake opposite Kartik Aaryan and Bhumi Pednekar. The latest report in Mumbai Mirror suggests that Ahaan has now bagged an offer from Yash Raj Films to collaborate with Rani Mukerji's upcoming film, Mardaani 2. But of course, the only difference being, Ahaan won't be making his debut as an actor but as an assistant director working on his first ever Bollywood project. Interesting isn't it?

Although many might feel Ahaan has everything to become an actor courtesy his filmy, goofy Instagram posts but the his aspirations lie beyond glam and stardom. "I’m just excited to be a part of this wonderful industry. Films and acting has been something I’ve always been interested in, glam isn’t what attracted me to this, my love for the craft and film did! I’m excited for the destination and the journey already excites me", said Ahaan during an earlier interaction with IANS.

It's left to see how well does this AD plan work out for Ahaan! Not to forget, many actors right from Varun Dhawan to Arjun Kapoor have begun their journey as ADs so we believe Ahaan is also keen on carving a similar story.

Interestingly, Chunky Pandey had hinted at Ahaan's YRF plans a few months back. He had said, "He (Ahaan) is a very hard working boy and he will also have an announcement soon. He is not debuting with Dharma (Productions), but somewhere else... It could be Yash Raj (Films). I can't really talk about it, but a very good news will be announced soon."

So is this the news Chunkey was talking about? Stay tuned to this space as we bring you more updates.
