In the last few weeks, a surprising buzz has taken over Bollywood circles and social media: Could Aryan Khan and Ahaan Panday be the new faces of a Karan Arjun remake?
While there has been no official confirmation, fans and netizens are already imagining the star kids stepping into the shoes of Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic characters.
Aryan Khan’s Big Debut: Ba***ds of Bollywood**
Aryan Khan, son of superstar Shah Rukh Khan, is all set to make his directorial debut with Netflix’s Ba**ds of Bollywood*. The first look launch event turned into a proud moment for the entire Khan family.
- The event was attended by lead actor Bobby Deol, Gauri Khan (producer), and Aryan himself.
- Despite having a fractured right hand, Shah Rukh Khan stood firmly by his son, making it a memorable father-son moment.
- Aryan, while jokingly apologizing to the audience for expectations, also admitted to feeling the pressure of being SRK’s son — a raw honesty that won many hearts.
Industry insiders and fellow actors praised Aryan’s confidence, and fans hailed this as the beginning of a new chapter for him.
Ahaan Panday and Saiyaara’s Success
On the other side, Ahaan Panday, nephew of actor Chunky Panday and son of businessman Chikki Panday, has been making waves with the viral Saiyaara mashup video. His presence in the trending clip and his rising fan base have quickly established him as one of the most promising newcomers.
Ahaan’s boyish charm, screen presence, and growing popularity have made fans speculate about his big Bollywood break.
The Aryan–Ahaan Friendship
Interestingly, Aryan and Ahaan share a long-standing childhood friendship, thanks to the bond between their fathers — Shah Rukh Khan and Chikki Panday.
This real-life camaraderie has fueled the imagination of fans who now see them as the perfect duo for a modern-day Karan Arjun remake.
Why Karan Arjun?
The 1995 cult classic Karan Arjun, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, remains one of Bollywood’s most iconic films. The idea of their sons’ generation recreating that magic is exciting for many reasons:
- Legacy Factor: Aryan playing a role once essayed by his father.
- Fresh Pairing: Aryan and Ahaan’s chemistry as friends translating onscreen.
- Box Office Curiosity: A remake with two star kids could become a massive crowd-puller.
The Big Question: Who Plays the Mother?
One fun twist fans keep asking is: If Aryan and Ahaan really star in a Karan Arjun remake, who could play the legendary mother’s role, originally done by Rakhee?
Some netizens have jokingly suggested Gauri Khan or even a cameo from Malaika Arora, while others debate over senior actresses like Tabu or Neena Gupta.
Conclusion
For now, the talk of Aryan Khan and Ahaan Panday starring in a Karan Arjun remake remains speculation and fan imagination. But with Aryan’s Netflix directorial debut creating waves and Ahaan riding high on the Saiyaara trend, the idea doesn’t feel too far-fetched.
Whether or not the remake happens, one thing is certain: Aryan and Ahaan are the new star kids to watch out for, and their journeys will keep Bollywood fans hooked.
