A video clip, now making the rounds on Instagram, shows Ahaan stepping out of a white Mercedes and quickly entering Bhansali’s office building. Dressed in a pale-toned shirt and denim pants, the actor was filmed from behind, making it difficult to confirm the clip’s authenticity, but that hasn’t stopped fans from going into a frenzy.

“Omg this is huge if anything is on the floor — Ahaan and SLB!” wrote one user. “Oh man! SLB and him? Deadly combo,” echoed another. A third fan added, “I predicted this. This is a big deal. SLB chooses his muses very carefully. and nobody greater than Ahaan after his other muses (sic).”

As of now, neither Ahaan nor Bhansali has confirmed any collaboration, but the internet is buzzing with excitement over the possibility.
