Exclusive: Here's why Khan families gave Saiyaara premiere a miss
'Saiyaara' is currently turning out to be a phenomenon. With a box office collection of over Rs 100 crore in just four days, the Mohit Suri-directorial has surpassed all expectations, emerging as the biggest hit of the year. The film was launched without much fanfare, even though it launched promising debutants, Ahaan Panday, cousin of Ananya Panday and Aneet fact, if one may remember, the premiere of the film did not boast of many established names from the industry, including the likes of Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, who are close to the Panday family. Not just that, Khans and YRF go a long way too. However, a source informed us that this was not coincidental. It was by design, just like keeping Ahaan and Aneet Padda away from the limelight till the debut was a strategic Today has exclusively learnt that the decision to keep the high-profile stars away was intentional. Sources confirm that producer Aditya Chopra opted for a deliberately low-key screening, held just a day before the film's theatrical release. The idea was to keep the focus squarely on the film and its young cast, without drawing media attention with the presence of industry heavyweights. Apart from their strong personal connections, Shah Rukh Khan and his family are close to YRF and Ahaan Panday's family, while Salman Khan shares a long-standing rapport with the Panday family. The Jawan' actor is currently out of the country, shooting for his upcoming project 'King'. However, none of his family members attended the screening either. On the other hand, Salman, who was in town, gave it a screening was attended only by the cast, a few industry insiders, and friends from the younger generation. Notably absent were any A-list names as an age of star-powered promotions, 'Saiyaara' stands out for its restraint, both in marketing and in red-carpet appearances.- EndsTrending Reel

Even if you have proved your mettle with a Rs 180 crore film ('OMG 2'), it's not enough. How is a director supposed to work here, under these systems of casting, production, star, and management? You live with a story for five years, and within minutes, somebody writes a five-pager, pointing out what is wrong and what is right in the film."advertisementRai has now decided to produce his next project by himself. He will collaborate with Hungarian cinematographer M1te Herba and renowned action and motion-capture specialist Isaac Hamon.

Akshay Kumar, another lead from 'OMG 2', has also shown interest in collaborating with Rai again.

Very few actors were honest with me. Sometimes, they weren't interested in being part of a film that's speaking the truth about society, and instead wanted to do a love story," he stated.'OMG 2' managed to perform well at the box office despite competition from 'Gadar 2'.
