Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara: A Director’s Journey of Rediscovery

Director Mohit Suri embarked on a heartwarming journey of rediscovering filmmaking with his latest romantic drama, Saiyaara. Starring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, the film became a unique learning experience for the seasoned director, backed by the visionary Aditya Chopra of Yashraj Films.

Embracing Fresh Talent: A Leap of Faith

Initially hesitant to cast newcomers, Suri reveals that Aditya Chopra encouraged him to take a leap of faith and embrace fresh talent. This push outside his comfort zone led Suri on an exciting quest to find the perfect actors to embody his vision for Saiyaara.

Finding the Heart of Saiyaara: Ahaan and Aneet

Suri’s search for his lead actor took an interesting turn. He discovered Ahaan Panday’s true character, not in a formal audition, but during a casual outing. The director was struck by Ahaan’s genuine personality, realizing he had found his male lead. Aneet Padda, on the other hand, impressed Suri with her powerful audition, demonstrating the talent and charisma needed for her role.

Saiyaara promises to be more than just a romantic drama; it’s a testament to the power of fresh perspectives and a director’s willingness to embrace the unknown.
