Mohit Suri on Casting Newcomers
Director Mohit Suri admitted he was initially hesitant to make Saiyaara with newcomers, stating, “I didn’t come across debutants with acting calibre.” However, he praised Ahaan and Aneet for their dedication, saying they exceeded his expectations. “I wouldn’t have made Saiyaara if I hadn’t found formidable actors like Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda,” he added.

Set to hit theatres on July 18, 2025, Saiyaara marks the first collaboration between Mohit Suri and Yash Raj Films. With a heartfelt narrative and powerful music, it’s poised to be a standout romantic film of the year.
