Saiyaara trailer out: Mohit Suri says 'Had given up on the idea of making the film with newcomers as...'

Mumbai/IBNS: The trailer of Mohit Suri's upcoming Hindi film Saiyaara was unveiled by the makers on Tuesday.

The film stars Ahaan Panday as a YRF hero.

The studio has handpicked Aneet Padda (who was earlier seen in series Big Girls Don’t Cry) as the next YRF heroine.

Mohit reveals he is humbled with 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 that 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 makes the love story feel believable for people. No one expects newcomers to have Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt 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 and 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."

Saiyaara is produced by Yash Raj Films’ CEO Akshaye Widhani.

The film is set to release in theatres worldwide on July 18, 2025.
