On Friday, YRF unveiled the teaser of Saiyaara, marking the debut of Ananya Panday's cousin, Ahaan Panday. The teaser instantly reminded many of the time Ahaan wowed the internet with his dance moves at sister Alanna Panday's wedding.
Directed by Mohit Suri, the director behind films like Aashiqui 2 and Malang, the 1-minute 15-second teaser showcases Ahaan Panday portraying a brooding rockstar, with scenes highlighting his intense chemistry with Big Girls Don't Cry fame Aneet Padda. While the teaser hints at a passionate love story followed by a heartbreak and redemption, a poetic voiceover by Aneet can be heard explaining the meaning of the word Saiyaara.

Khud jalke jo roshan karde jag yeh sara. Woh awara dhund raha hai. Dil se yaara dhund raha hai. (A wandering star, symbolising a guiding yet unattainable presence).'

Dhoom 4 release update: Ranbir Kapoor joins YRF's action franchise with Ayan Mukerji expected to direct
The highly anticipated fourth installment of the iconic Dhoom franchise is finally gaining traction, with Dhoom 4 set to enter production in 2026. Yash Raj Films (YRF) is officially developing the next chapter of one of Bollywood's most celebrated action series, and Ranbir Kapoor has been confirmed to take on the lead role in this high-octane reboot. According to reports from Pinkvilla , YRF's head Aditya Chopra has teamed up with screenwriter Shridhar Raghavan to work on the script. The report states, 'Aditya Chopra has been closely involved in developing the story and screenplay of Dhoom 4 with Shridhar Raghavan. They are currently working on the story draft that's worthy of the hype around the reboot with Dhoom 4.' Shridhar Raghavan, best known for writing hit YRF films like Pathaan, War, and Tiger 3, is expected to bring a fresh vision to the franchise. The aim is to create a narrative that not only lives up to the legacy of the previous films but also aligns with global action cinema standards. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Alerta: Você tem zumbido no ouvido? Dica de ouro pode aliviar! Zumbido no ouvido Undo Ranbir Kapoor Cast as the Lead The casting of Ranbir Kapoor has generated significant buzz, with his character reportedly tailored to match his persona. A source from the Pinkvilla report noted, 'Ranbir is the apt choice for Dhoom 4, and the character is also designed keeping his aura and personality in mind. The new Dhoom film is being designed keeping the global action standards in mind, and the visual pallete, as also storytelling will be very different from the already established YRF Spy Universe.' Ranbir is reportedly excited to be part of the franchise, which has previously featured stars like John Abraham, Hrithik Roshan, and Aamir Khan in antagonist roles. The reboot marks a new direction for the series, with an emphasis on international-level visuals and a distinct storytelling approach. Ayan Mukerji Expected to Direct YRF is planning to begin filming Dhoom 4 in April 2026, with a target release date sometime in 2027. Talks are underway with director Ayan Mukerji to helm the project. Mukerji, who has previously worked with Kapoor on Wake Up Sid, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, and Brahmāstra, is expected to take charge of pre-production once War 2 is released on Independence Day 2025. If confirmed, this collaboration would mark yet another high-profile partnership between Mukerji and Kapoor. The team is looking to complete principal photography by the end of 2026. Ranbir's Tight Schedule Ahead of 'Dhoom 4' Before shifting focus to Dhoom 4, Kapoor has a packed lineup. He is currently working on Love and War, a Sanjay Leela Bhansali directorial starring Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal. Following that, he is expected to begin filming the second part of Ramayana. Only after completing these two major projects will Kapoor begin work on Dhoom 4. In addition, he is also scheduled to appear in Brahmāstra 2 and Animal Park, both of which are at different stages of development. Originally launched in 2004, the Dhoom series redefined action cinema in India with its stylish heists, sleek motorcycles, and memorable antagonists. With Dhoom 4, the makers aim to push the envelope even further. While the reboot will retain the high-stakes action that the franchise is known for, it will also introduce a new narrative tone, distinct from the broader YRF Spy Universe.
