Ahaan Panday Discloses Post-'Saiyaara' Shoulder Surgery, Now Training for Ali Abbas Zafar Action-Romance

He also clarifies that a viral IV-drip theatre clip showed a dialysis patient, not a staged stunt.

Overview

  • The actor says he underwent major shoulder surgery soon after Saiyaara’s 2025 release to repair a snowmobile-related subluxation, calling it among the most painful with the longest recovery.
  • He recounts being told his body would “go back to zero” post-procedure and reveals he spent months in a cast that most people did not notice.
  • He outlines a near seven-hour daily regimen—about three hours of action training, two-and-a-half hours of strength work, plus mobility and ice baths—to rebuild for his next role.
  • The untitled Ali Abbas Zafar film, backed by Yash Raj Films and co-starring Sharvari, is reported to begin filming on March 30 in Mumbai before a roughly 60-day UK schedule.
  • Addressing speculation around a viral clip, he says the man seen watching Saiyaara with an IV drip was undergoing dialysis rather than participating in a marketing setup.
