Mohit Suri reveals why he thinks Alia Bhatt and Shraddha Kapoor's support towards Saiyaara is ‘biased'
Mohit Suri on Alia Bhatt, Shraddha's support for Saiyaara
Talking about Alia and Shraddha Kapoor, Mohit said that they are biased towards him. "Those two are biased also. Dono teaser se hi film ko support kar rahe the (They have been supporting the film since the teaser). They are biased towards me but to see the rest of the world love it the same way, as they have, is more important also."
Mohit on young Alia's reaction to his debut film song
Mohit Suri talked about a young Alia's reaction after watching his Woh Lamhe music album. He said, "Mujhe yaad hai Alia jab choti thi toh mai apni pehli film ka video Bhatt saab (Mahesh Bhatt) ko dikhane lekar gaya tha, Woh Lamhe Woh Baatein ka, Bhatt saab ko itna samaj nahi aya tha (I remember when Alia was young then I went to show Mahesh Bhatt the video of my first film, of Woh Lamhe Woh Baatein, he didn't understand it much) but Alia was like, 'this is really cool, papa. I am telling you.' That time vo filmo me thi bhi nahi (she wasn't into films) but she always had that in her. She is more commercial than all of us put together."
The song is from the film Zeher (2005), Mohit's directorial debut. It was produced by Mahesh Bhatt. The film stars Emraan Hashmi, Shamita Shetty and Udita Goswami.

Son of Sardaar 2 box office collection day 4: Ajay Devgn's film witnesses drop amid tough competition from Saiyaara
Son of Sardaar 2 box office collection day 4: Ajay Devgn's comedy-drama released in theatres on August 1 and clashed with Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri's Dhadak 2. While the film has managed to stay ahead of Dhadak 2, it is still struggling at the box office and has now seen a decline in collections on its first Monday. Son of Sardaar 2 box office collection day 4: Ajay Devgn headlines the comedy with Mrunal Thakur and Ravi Kishan for company. Son of Sardaar 2 witnesses a dip on first Monday According to Sacnilk, Ajay's film closed its opening weekend with ₹24.75 crore (earning ₹7.25 crore on Day 1, ₹8.25 crore on Day 2, and ₹9.25 crore on Day 3). However, the film failed to maintain momentum at the box office on its first Monday, earning just ₹1.88 crore. The total collection of the movie now stands at ₹26.63 crore. While the film continues to race ahead of Dhadak 2, it has clearly faced tough competition from Saiyaara. Ajay's film earned slightly more than what Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Saiyaara collected on Monday, which marked its 18th day at the box office. Saiyaara earned ₹1.82 crore, according to the trade tracking site, taking its total box office collection to ₹301.29 crore. Mrunal Thakur, the film's female lead, was seen encouraging viewers to watch the movie in theatres and decide its fate for themselves. When a fan tweeted about the film's mixed reviews on social media, saying, 'The way the reviews are on Instagram and YouTube, I don't even feel like watching it anymore,' Mrunal responded, 'Most of the reviews are misleading… I would appreciate if you decide how YOU LIKE IT SIR!' About Son of Sardaar 2 The sequel to the 2012 hit Son of Sardaar follows the story of Ajay's character, Jassi, who is called to London by his wife (played by Neeru Bajwa), only to be blindsided by her demand for a divorce. Stranded and heartbroken, he crosses paths with Rabia (Mrunal Thakur), a spirited member of an all-girl wedding dhol band. Rabia's younger sister, Saba (Roshni Walia), is in love with the son of the stern and traditional Raja (Ravi Kishan), who insists on meeting her parents before giving his approval. The problem? Saba's parents are no more. To keep the romance alive, Jassi agrees to pose as her father, an ex-army colonel, while Rabia plays the mother. What follows is a hilarious and chaotic ride of twists, emotional beats, and drama. The film received mixed reviews from critics. However, Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, and Deepak Dobriyal's performances and comic timing were widely appreciated by both critics and audiences.
