This morning, internet went abuzz with reports saying that Gen Z sensation of the year, Saiyaara Aneet Padda next is a streaming project directed by Nitya Mehra and her husband Karan Kapadia. Industry sources have revealed that this project in question, titled Nyaya, was shot before Aneet signed Saiyaara and that her she would be built as a theatrical heroine post Saiyaara historic success. Nyaya also features Fatima Sana Sheikh. 

“Aneet Padda is a big screen heroine for Yash Raj Films. Nyaya was shot before she signed Saiyaara and it has no bearing on her career trajectory as a theatrical heroine going forward. A girl who is delivering probably a 400 crore hit in theatres, is a true Gen Z star at the age of just 22, will be preserved for theatricals. There are huge plans to make her the face of a generation and that can be achieved only by consolidating her theatrical equity”, informed a trade source.
