Besides starring alongside Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan and Diljit Dosanjh in filmmaker JP Dutta’s Border 2, Ahan Shetty has also signed his next project. The actor, who marked his Bollywood debut in 2021 with Tadap, will be seen in Shaad Ali’s next. The speculation started when a picture of Ahan with the director — known for helming films such as Saathiya (2002), Bunty Aur Babli (2005) and OK Jaanu (2017) — surfaced online.

Now, our source confirms, saying, “Ahan is collaborating with Shaad for his next film, which is a love story. The duo was spotted together at the airport as they were headed to Delhi for some work related to the film. The search for the female lead is currently on.”

The insider adds, “Ahan is currently shooting for Border 2. Shaad’s film is expected to go on floors next year.”
