With the release of Saiyaara on July 18, Ahaan Panday, nephew of Chunky Panday and first cousin of Ananya Panday, became an overnight sensation.
The film directed by Mohit Suri has turned out to be a record-breaking box office success earning over Rs 100 crore in just four days in India and over Rs 150 crore, globally.
Amid the success of Saiyaara and the hysteria around Ahaan Panday, many social media users have pointed out how the young actor shares an uncanny resemblance with another young actor, Vedang Raina.

Also starring Aneet Padda, Saiyaara is already the highest grossing film featuring newcomers (inflation unadjusted) and is now on course to be the highest grossing love story (inflation unadjusted).
It is expected to end its run earning Rs 300 crore plus at the domestic box office and over Rs 400 crore, globally.
