After breaking box office records with over Rs. 400 crores worldwide, \u201cSaiyaara\u201d has emerged as one of the highest-grossing Indian romantic films of all time, proving that audiences are still hungry for classic Bollywood love stories.<\/p>\n
Director Mohit Suri\u2019s latest musical romance starring debutants Ahaan Panday<\/b> and Aneet Padda<\/b> wasn\u2019t always meant to be a standalone film. Suri recently revealed that \u201cSaiyaara\u201d was originally conceived as \u201cAashiqui 3\u201d before creative differences led him to develop it independently under Yash Raj Films.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought of this idea for Aashiqui 3, which is now \u2018Saiyaara\u2019. But they were in a hurry and wanted to announce it, which is something I was not comfortable with,\u201d Suri explained. The decision proved fortuitous, as fans and critics are calling it worthy of the \u2018Aashiqui\u2019 legacy.<\/p>\n
Reviews have been largely positive, with many praising the fresh chemistry between the lead pair. Ahaan Panday\u2019s portrayal of troubled musician Krish Kapoor has drawn comparisons to Aditya Roy Kapur\u2019s iconic Aashiqui 2 character, while Aneet Padda\u2019s Vaani brings depth to the poet battling early-onset Alzheimer\u2019s.<\/p>\n
