Komal Nahta claimed that one actor is now unable to concentrate on the shooting of his upcoming film.
Ahaan Panday has become the talk of the town after the release of his debut film, Saiyaara. Of all the star kids who have made their debuts recently, Ahaan Panday is being touted as the next big superstar. However, as per trade analyst Komal Nahta, Ahaan's early success has left four Bollywood actors insecure.
Komal Nahta claimed in an article, 'One actor, with more than 40 films to his credit, actually told his colleague that he was finding it difficult to get even his forty winks, leave alone a good night's sleep." He wrote that Saiyaara's numbers are giving the actor palpitations and have left him feeling insecure about his career.
The article also mentioned, 'Another relatively newer hero is said to be ringing up his current producers to find out whether the advance booking is genuine or not." It was recently reported that several producers have a habit of inflating their box office numbers with corporate bookings. However, as per Komal Nahta, Saiyaara's numbers are real.
As for the third hero, the report claimed, 'A third hero is busy spreading stories that he is privy to inside information that the advance booking figures are being hyped by the producer of the film." The report also mentions a fourth hero who has 'almost 20 films to his credit, simply can't concentrate on his shooting as he is asking all and sundry whether the hype around Saiyaara is for real".
This report resurfaced on Reddit, where netizens tried to guess which actors were being hinted at. One comment read, 'Shahid, Varun and Kartik?" Another mentioned, 'Has to be Ibrahim. Veer has no chance, and I hope he knows it. Junaid and Vedang seem pretty chill." One person wrote, referring to Ibrahim Ali Khan, 'Imagine being born to Bollywood and cricket royalty (and an actual royal family) only to get mogged by checks notes Chikki Panday's son. I'd be pissed too if I were him lol."
One comment read, '40+ films – Saif or John (Shahid doesn't cross the number of 40 movies). Ringing producers- maybe Varun. It has to be Kartik, lord of the PR." Someone else wrote, 'Everyone else makes sense…but who is 40-plus movie actor feeling insecure with Ahaan? Abhishek Bachchan?"
For the unversed, the film's box office collection has matched the social media response around the film. The film has earned nearly Rs 20 crore till now. Saiyaara has outperformed the Day 1 collections of Murder 2 (Rs 6.95 crore), Aashiqui 2 (Rs 6.10 crore), and Half Girlfriend (Rs 10.30 crore). It has also eclipsed the collections of Ek Villain (2014), which collected Rs 16 crore on its opening day, by becoming Mohit Suri's biggest opener ever.
