Saiyaara has become the hottest debutant film in the Hindi film industry after a long, long time and Yash Raj Films released the trailer of Saiyaara today to an immediate internet frenzy. Mohit reveals he is humbled by the love the film is getting because at one point he ‘had given up on the idea of making Saiyaara with newcomers’ because he ‘didn’t come across debutants with acting calibre’! The ace director is happy that he found Ahaan Panday & Aneet Padda who lived up to his expectations with their sheer acting talent.

Mohit says, “I wouldn’t have made Saiyaara if I hadn’t found formidable actors like Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. I was honestly thinking about making something else before my path crossed with Yash Raj Films, which was looking for a young love story and was grooming Ahaan and Aneet to star in such a film.”
He adds, “When you make a love story with debutants, they have to be convincing as actors to pull off the emotional layers and depths that make the love story feel believable for people. No one expects newcomers to have Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt’s level of acting. But they need to be actors who hold their own on screen. I didn’t come across debutants with acting calibre. I didn’t find the vulnerability in the young crop. And I had given up on the idea of making this script with debutants.”
Mohit further says, “I had pivoted it to have faces that sell from a commerce point of view. Somehow, the writing process of Saiyaara took time and I met YRF. Then I saw the auditions of Ahaan and Aneet and decided to spend time with them to get convinced about their acting, intellectual and emotional depth. I was blown away that here are two absolutely fresh new actors who have it in them to act, to surrender to a vision! It’s a rarity today honestly and it’s so refreshing to make a love story with newcomers! I’m glad I found these two because I’m making this story as it was meant to be made.”
Akshaye Widhani On Saiyaara
YRF CEO, Akshaye Widhani, who is producing Saiyaara, says, “At YRF, we have a legacy of making love stories that have connected and stayed in people’s hearts for a long, long time. So, this collaboration with Mohit Suri, who loves this genre as much as we do, was always meant to happen. We were looking to tell a real love story that connects to today’s youth by showing how deep and true their feelings, emotions and commitments are. We are thrilled to have found Saiyaara.”
He adds, “It is a love story that is inherently YRF. But it has all the tropes of the vintage Mohit Suri romance that everyone has loved for over 20 years! An intense love story with debutants has not been made in a long, long time. And we are hoping our audience finds that extremely refreshing.”
