Yesterday, Saiyaara recorded its lowest day since release as it earned around Rs 2.75 crore and now stands with a total collection of Rs 308.25 crore. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD But now as per multiple reports, it is being said that not Ahaan and Aneet, but Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani were the makers' first choices but things didn't materialize. It's said the Shershaah actor's look test didn't really go as smooth as expected and the director Mohit Suri put his point forward. With the global collections of Rs 486 crore, Saiyaara has crossed Hrithik Roshan-Tiger Shroff's War (Rs 475.62), the film is expected to surpass its domestic collections (Rs 318.01 crore) by the end of its 4th weekend.

Before the release of the movie, director Mohit Suri spoke about Saiyaara's comparison with Aashiqui 2 in an interview with Firstpost. He said, 'When I made Zeher, they said it looked like Murder. When I made Ek Villain, they said it looked like Murder 2. When I made Malang, they said it looked like Ek Villain. When I made Aashiqui 2, they said it looked like Woh Lame and Rockstar. So I think when I go ahead and make my next film, they'll say it looks like Saiyaara. I think when they're comparing it to my own work rather than somebody else's, it's good.'

Actors like Aditya Roy Kapur , Shraddha Kapoor , Emraan Hashmi, their way to stardom goes through the cinema of Mohit Suri. And it's not just the stars that we see on the screen but also the ones working behind the screen, music composers like Mithoon and singers like Arijit Singh . However, Mohit take the modest route, and refuses to take credit for their success. The director spoke with IANS to celebrate the success of his latest release 'Saiyaara', which has become a rage turning its lead pair of Aneet Padda and Ahaan Panday into overnight stars. Mohit refrains from calling himself a "kingmaker". He told IANS, "I don't believe you can make talent. You can discover a talent. It's like a star, it always existed in the sky, millions of light years away, the light was taking some time to reach you. And you finally reached you and you discovered it on your telescope. You didn't create it, it was always there, it was there before you. It is all the talent of singers that I've found. If I didn't find them, someone would have. Maybe I was just a medium. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Snore a Lot?

I discover something but I don't create it. Talent has to be found". He further mentioned, "I cannot give talent to someone who doesn't have it. So my job is that to find a Faheem, find an Arijit from all over the globe and even when it comes to composers, I mean there are many people that I don't even want to mention who got a break somewhere else but I've supported them, people who I met long back and I knew they were going to do well". "So I just feel in fact what that makes me realise and when they especially do well is I feel validated", he added.

Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda starrer Saiyaara has not only turned out to be a monstrous box office blockbuster but also a global phenomenon. While the film has entered the coveted club of Rs 300 crore in India, it is set to enter the Rs 500 crore club globally. _Saiyaara_ currently stands with a worldwide gross total of Rs 486 crore and has surpassed biggies like War (Rs 475.62 crore), Dunki (Rs 470.6 crore) and Tiger 3 (Rs 466.63 crore). The film will become the 16th Bollywood film to cross the Rs 500 crore benchmark globally after Dangal (Rs 1968.03 crore), Jawan (Rs 1148.32 crore), Pathaan (Rs 1050.3 crore), Bajrangi Bhaijaan (Rs 918.18 crore), Animal (Rs 917.82 crore), Secret Superstar (Rs 875.78 crore), Stree 2 (Rs 874.58 crore), Chhaava (Rs 797.34 crore), PK (Rs 769.89 crore), Gadar 2 (Rs 691.08 crore), Sultan (Rs 614.49 crore), Sanju (Rs 586.85 crore), Padmaavat (Rs 571.98 crore), Tiger Zinda Hai (Rs 564.2 crore) and Dhoom 3 (Rs 556.84 crore) STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD While Saiyaara will continue its steady run at the box office until the arrival of Coolie and War 2, the musical romantic drama is now getting dominated by director Ashwin Kumar's animated venture _Mahavatar Narsimha_. Despite not going all out with the promotions, Saiyaara garnered unprecedented excitement among the cinegoers. Before the release of the movie, director Mohit Suri spoke about it and told Firstpost, 'I've been inside the studio for the last one month. I have no idea. And unlike the past when people travel from one studio to another, this is everything inhouse at YRF. So I haven't really gone out and met the world outside. Normally, when you are working on other films, you go out for the day; for sound, edit, and VFX. It was different different places. And just hearing it now, it does feel it does feel very redeeming and validating because when I started off this film, I was quite discouraged by a lot of senior people saying that nobody would be interested in a young love story. Because at that time, larger-than-life films were being made and I just thought that my voice would be lost there when everyone was shouting. So I just went and tried to make a film which is very different from what others were doing. And to me, the fact that people are appreciating that the difference that it's standing out means a lot.'
