The trending photo highlights their enduring friendship that dates back to their childhood. Following the release of the teaser for The Ba**ds of Bollywood, directed by Aryan, there is a shared sentiment among internet users - the two best friends should collaborate!
The year of young stars - fans want Aryan to direct Ahaan
While Ahaan Panday has recently made his acting debut in Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara, Aryan Khan has opted for a different route in the film industry. He is preparing to make his directorial debut with Netflix’s forthcoming series The Ba**ds of Bollywood. The teaser for the gritty series has already garnered significant attention for its audacious portrayal of the film industry's darker aspects, infused with humor and satire.
In the wake of the viral image, fans began voicing their desire to see the two childhood friends team up on-screen. Many proposed that Aryan should direct Ahaan in one of his upcoming projects, while others couldn’t resist envisioning them as co-stars. Comments such as “Aryan and Ahaan in a Netflix series would be legendary” and “Having them together in a film would be phenomenal” have been pouring into social media.

One admirer commented, "What if he and Ahaan teamed up for a film? It would be a delight to see two childhood friends unite! Aryan as the director, Ahaan as the actor! That would be fantastic!!" Another remarked, "If only Aryan wanted to act, he and Ahaan would absolutely shine in a movie together, especially since they both can speak proper Hindi unlike many other star kids."
Aryan and Ahaan's friendship
The connection between Aryan and Ahaan is not unexpected, given the close relationships their families maintain. Shah Rukh Khan has been a lifelong companion of Ahaan’s father, businessman and philanthropist Chikki Panday. In fact, Chikki was one of the individuals who supported SRK during his early struggles in Mumbai. The superstar and his wife Gauri reportedly spent numerous evenings at the Panday residence, bonding over films and lengthy discussions. Their sister Suhana and Ananya are also close friends.
As Aryan prepares for his highly anticipated directorial debut and Ahaan continues his path as an actor, fans are clearly hoping for a film or series that would bring their off-screen camaraderie to the screen.
