Ahaan Panday has quickly gained recognition as a talented newcomer in Bollywood, with his impressive lip-syncing skills in the film Saiyaara capturing considerable attention. His natural handling of the musical sequences, especially in the title track, has become a talking point among audiences and critics alike, fueling a Ranbir Kapoor musical scene comparison by industry insiders.
Behind the Scenes: The Making of Saiyaara’s Music
Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri, features music composed by the duo Sachet Tandon and Parampara Thakur. During the songwriting process, Mohit Suri invited Ahaan Panday and co-star Aneet Padda to the music studio, where their presence energized the creative environment. Parampara Thakur recalled this moment, explaining how their engagement influenced the atmosphere in the studio.
At the time, we didn’t even know they were the lead actors. But they brought this crazy, positive energy with them. They were watching us closely—how we sing, how we compose. Maybe Mohit sir asked them to do that, and that he wants something similar on the screen.

Ahaan’s Authenticity Shines in Musical Scenes
Sachet Tandon praised Ahaan Panday’s dedication and preparation for the musical sequences, noting the actor’s ability to mimic the natural rhythm and body language required to make the lip-sync appear genuine. Sachet emphasized that it is uncommon for actors to perform musical lip-syncs with such conviction and fluidity.
The way he is singing the song and the body language, it is very nice… Matlab for an actor to lip sync and replicate ke aisa lage ke yeh woh gaa raha hai is rare (For an actor to lip-sync and replicate in a way that makes it look like they’re singing is rare). I felt that thing once in my life when I saw Ranbir Kapoor.
—Sachet Tandon, Composer
After Ranbir, this is the first time that I’ve seen something like that. Ahaan has done a great job. He worked hard for this.
—Sachet Tandon, Composer
Saiyaara’s Growing Popularity and Future Availability
The soundtrack of Saiyaara has been well-received, with the title song becoming increasingly popular online. The film’s emotional story and music are resonating with viewers, helping Ahaan Panday make a strong impression as a promising actor. The production team has indicated plans for the film to begin streaming on Netflix later this year, though the exact date remains unconfirmed, pending the film’s theatrical performance.
For now, audiences can enjoy Ahaan’s performance and his nearly flawless lip-sync in theaters, continuing to support this rising star. Saiyaara’s ongoing success highlights the significance of authentic musical portrayals in Bollywood cinema and sets expectations for greater opportunities for new talent on screen.
