MUMBAI: The much-anticipated romantic film Saiyaara brings together Yash Raj Films and Mohit Suri, both known for creating timeless love stories, for the first time! Saiyaara has so far garnered unanimous praise for delivering an intense love story with debutants who share infectious chemistry and brilliant acting skills. The film launches Ahaan Panday as a YRF hero. The studio has handpicked Aneet Padda (who stole hearts with her brilliant performance in the much-acclaimed series Big Girls Don’t Cry) as the next YRF heroine.
Mohit reveals how he has ‘an aashiqui with the romance genre’ and that Saiyaara was initially meant to become Aashiqui 3.
Mohit says, “For me, romance is a genre that I love the most maybe because I have always been fascinated by people and their love stories. Everybody’s love story is so different and unique and heartwarming and gut-wrenching that you can feel so many emotions, root for people and believe that love can be the solution to everything, it can be the great healer.”
He adds, “I have an aashiqui with the romance genre and I would love exploring every layer of this complex feeling through my career. I had thought of this idea for Aashiqui 3, which is now Saiyaara. It didn’t materialise to become Aashiqui 3 at that time. I keep trying to think of telling new love stories. It’s been 20 years of doing love stories and I still feel I have barely scratched the surface. Saiyaara is another exploration of an intense love story that one can experience at a very young age. That’s what makes it fresh for me.”
Mohit says he loves how the youth think and feel about love. He says, “People underestimate young people to have deep emotions and experience life changing relationships. I love how young minds function, how they feel and how they process love to be. Saiyaara is my journey into the hearts and souls of these beautiful young boys and girls and show everyone the level of commitment, the depth of love that they are able to operate on.

Saiyaara is buzzing these days as the most anticipated young romantic film of our times. It has delivered the best album of the year with all four songs from the album, Saiyaara, Jubin Nautiyal’s Barbaad, Vishal Mishra’s Tum Ho Toh & Sachet-Parampara’s Humsafar making waves on the musical charts of India!
Besides the songs, the film's title, Saiyaara, has also piqued interest of audience. It means a wandering celestial body, but in poetry it's often used to describe something (or someone) dazzling, ethereal, or otherworldly — a wandering star - always shining, always guiding, but always out of reach.
YRF, in its 50 year history, is known for giving India some of the cult romantic films of all time primarily directed by Yash Chopra and Aditya Chopra. Mohit Suri, who is currently in his 20th year in cinema, has also directed some of the most favourite romantic films like Aashiqui 2, Malang, Ek Villain, etc.
Saiyaara is produced by the company’s CEO Akshaye Widhani and it is set to release on July 18, 2025 in theatres worldwide.
