Actor Hrithik Roshan on Friday lauded the performance of Ananya Panday in the movie ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’, and has called her a ‘star’.

Taking to X, Hrithik wrote: “Saw Kho gaye hum kahaan a few days back. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Not an easy genre. @ananyapandayy you are a star. What a performance @SiddyChats and @gauravadarsh you guys were great. So well directed @ArjunVarain. Congrats to the entire team. It’s a must watch !”

Replying to the ‘Fighter’ star, Ananya said: “.@iHrithik sir you just made my day! Thank you so much for your lovely words and appreciation. It’s very motivating”.

The film is written by Arjun, Zoya Akhtar, Reema Kagti and produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Akhtar, Kagti, and Farhan Akhtar under the banners of Excel Entertainment and Tiger Baby Films.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Ananya has ‘Call Me Bae’, ‘Control’, and ‘The Untold Story of C Sankaran Nair’ in the pipeline.
