Mohit Suri says he cast Aneet Padda in Saiyaara as he ‘wanted someone who hadn't altered her face or body'
Filmmaker Mohit Suri's Saiyaara is captivating hearts and breaking records at the box office. Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's chemistry in the film has become the talk of the town. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Mohit revealed why he chose Aneet as the lead heroine and recalled their disastrous first meeting. Mohit Suri reveals what made him cast Aneet Padda in Saiyaara. Before the release of the film, Mohit talked about the casting process and revealed that it was Aditya Chopra who introduced him to Ahaan. Although he didn't initially see his film's character in Ahaan during their first meeting, he spent time with him and eventually recognised the qualities he was looking for. Mohit Suri reveals why he chose Aneet Padda for Saiyaara Mohit further opened up about the reason he cast Aneet in the film and said, 'I'm sorry if I don't sound politically correct, but one thing that was very scary was that I wanted a 20–22-year-old girl who hadn't done anything cosmetological to her face or body in today's age. That was a big requirement. I wanted someone who felt real and hadn't altered her body. Aneet had done some work before, and she was great at it. She was predominantly a great actor, especially for the part I required her to play. She came through all the slaughtering of auditions.' He added that other actors also gave good auditions, but they were 'too done up'. He then opened up about how he broke the ice with Aneet and said, 'It was a disastrous first meeting with her. She came into the office wearing a yellow costume, and Ahaan was there with me. I told her, 'What the hell are you wearing?' Someone had told her that's how the character was. She must have got really scared, and when this generation gets scared, they get chatty. But Ahaan tried to take all the chattiness onto himself. Her tests, though, were damn good.' He revealed that Ahaan saved the situation for Aneet that day. About Saiyaara The romantic musical drama features Ahaan as a struggling musician whose life takes a turn when he crosses paths with Vaani Batra (Aneet), an ambitious aspiring journalist. Their love story unfolds through a series of emotional highs and lows, set against the backdrop of dreams, passion, and heartbreak. Apart from Ahaan and Aneet's chemistry and Mohit Suri's direction, what struck a chord with the audience is the music. From Tum Ho Toh, Saiyaara, Barbaad, to Humsafar, fans can't stop crooning the melodies. The film has crossed the ₹100 crore mark at the box office in just four days and continues to attract audiences to theatres.

Saiyaara Review: Mohit Suri gifts Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda a dream debut in his intense love story
Plot: The story of Saiyaara is about Krish Kapoor (Ahaan Panday) and Vaani Batra (Aneet Padda). Vaani gets ditched by her ex on the day of her marriage, and she remains depressed until she meets Krish at the publication where she's interning. Krish, who's tired of not receiving accolades for the efforts he puts into the music band he's part of, allegedly because of a certain 'nepo' kid in the band, storms into the media office over the visible bias. Krish sees Vaani's diary, where she writes her feelings, and is impressed by her writing. Krish's friend Kiwi (Alam Khan) finds Krish an opportunity to compose a song for a famous singer, with a deadline of three days. Vaani, who has come to interview the singer, is approached by Krish to write the song so that both can benefit from it. Love blossoms between the two. Vaani understands Krish closely and sees the family issues he faces. She supports him through and through. Vaani's family is overprotective of her because of the heartbreak she suffered. Krish must prove his love for Vaani by being ready to marry her. A mishap changes the dynamics of their love forever. Can Krish and Vaani overcome what stands between them? Can Krish become the big singer he always wanted to be? Watch Saiyaara to find out. What Works for Saiyaara The chemistry between Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda is the beating heart of Saiyaara. Their onscreen romance feels authentic and effortless. The music, a hallmark of Mohit Suri's films, is a standout, with soulful tracks like Saiyaara, Tum Ho Toh, Dhun, Barbaad, Humsafar and others resonating deeply. Each song is not only melodious but also seamlessly woven into the narrative, enhancing the emotional depth. The picturization of these tracks is breathtakingly lovely, with lush visuals that capture the vibrancy of new love. Mohit Suri 's direction is spellbinding, as he masterfully balances romance, drama, and music. The emotional arc of the story is compelling. It portrays Krish's struggles with his family and Vaani's battle with past heartbreak, convincingly, apart from the main issue that forms the film's edifice. The superb supporting cast, including Alam Khan as the lively Kiwi, and Geeta Agrawal and Rajesh Kumar as Vaani's parents, make Saiyaara all the more credible. What Doesn't Work for Saiyaara While Saiyaara excels in many areas, its story feels familiar. The narrative, though executed with finesse, treads a predictable path. This might leave viewers craving a touch of originality. However, these minor flaws are overshadowed by the film's overall polish and execution. The storytelling, direction, and performances are so well-crafted that the familiarity of the plot doesn't detract from the experience. Watch The Saiyaara Trailer Performances in Saiyaara Ahaan Panday delivers a stellar performance as Krish. He perfectly captures the frustration of an overlooked artist and the vulnerability of a man in love. Aneet Padda shines as Vaani, portraying her character's journey from heartbreak to hope with remarkable sensitivity. She is a great find. The two share an electrifying chemistry. The supporting actors, particularly Alam Khan as Kiwi is awesome. Geeta Agrawal and Rajesh Kumar add gravitas. All other actors do well with the limited time they get to leave a mark. Final Verdict of Saiyaara Saiyaara is a beautifully crafted romantic drama that triumphs through its stellar performances, enchanting music, and Mohit Suri's masterful direction. Despite a familiar storyline, the film's emotional depth and heartfelt chemistry make it a must-watch. Saiyaara plays in theatres now. Go watch!
