Saiyaara Director Mohit Suri Says Film Sets Are His Home: 'I've Been There Since I Was 17'
Last Updated: Saiyaara director Mohit Suri believes film sets prepared him for life as a filmmaker. He spent over 50% of his life on sets, starting as an assistant at 17 and directing at 22. Director Mohit Suri, who has turned the tides for the struggling Hindi film industry with his film 'Saiyaara', has spent a generous part of his life on film sets. The director feels that being on sets prepared him for life as a filmmaker, and taught him the conviction to believe in his stories and his actors. The director spoke with IANS in the light of humongous success of 'Saiyaara', and shared that his conduct on a film set comes from years of subconscious learning during his stint as an assistant director. Mohit told IANS, 'I've been on the set since I was 17. I was an assistant director for five years, and then I started directing at the age of 22. I spent more than 50% of my life on a set and being a director. Now I'm 44. I think that's the real me". He said that film sets are his natural space, and he not social events or media events, where he has to play the character called Mohit Suri. He continued, 'I think I'm doing a performance where I'm living in real life. When I have to go socializing, for clubbing, when I went there, they cut a cake for me in my club. I'm acting there, I didn't know how to fit in there. I'm very comfortable on the set and I want to be on the set for the rest of my life. So if you ask me, for me, it's like breathing about how I have to conduct myself on a film set. For me, to make friends on a film set is way easier than to make friends in real life". 'I cry, I laugh, I'm serious when I have to be, I'm light-hearted when I need to be. But it's the natural me. The unnatural me is when I have to go out for social events", he added.

Ashwin Kumar 's 'Mahavatar Narsimha', an animated retelling of Lord Vishnu's fierce avatars, continues its remarkable box office journey. Trade reports state that the film earned over Rs 91.45 crores worldwide by day 10. Steady growth across languages; Hindi version dominates the numbers According to the Sacnilk website, while 'Mahavatar Narsimha' opened to a modest Rs 1.35 crore in Hindi on day 1, the version showed strong momentum, pulling in Rs 67.45 crore over ten days.

In total, the India net collection stands at Rs 83 crore, with Rs 91.45 crore grossed globally. This shows the film's slow but consistent build through word-of-mouth and regional reach. Timeless mythological tale meets modern medium What sets 'Mahavatar Narsimha' apart is its blend of faith, storytelling, and animation. Audiences are finding an emotional connection in Prahlad's steadfast belief and the eventual divine justice delivered by Narsimha. The film received much love from the audience. One Twitter user wrote, "Indian animation has often struggled to break out of its cartoonish image, but the animation in Mahavatar Narsimha is impressive despite the film's modest budget." Another one wrote, "The visuals, the sound, the divine felt like a spiritual calling wrapped in cinematic brilliance.
