A source had said: “Ahaan will start his training in boxing first and then move on to mixing martial arts and hardcore strength training to bulk up for the screen. His training will be for about 5 hours every day. It will be intense but necessary as Ali wants to present him as a young boy who can take down people with sheer brute force”.

“No one can even imagine Ahaan in this fierce avatar and YRF will keep things completely under wraps for people to feel the awe when they look at him in his new film visuals”, the source added.

Ali Abbas Zafar made his own directorial and screenwriting debut with the romantic comedy Mere Brother Ki Dulhan in 2011. The film revolved around a young man who finds a bride for his elder brother, but then finds that he himself has fallen in love with her.

Zafar's next film was the sports drama Sultan starring Salman Khan as a wrestling champion from Haryana.

He then went on to make Tiger Zinda Hai, the sequel to YRF's Ek Tha Tiger. His most recent work includes the dud Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.
