Saiyaara cast fees: Here's how much Ahaan Pandey and others earned
Saiyaara cast fees: The much-anticipated romantic drama Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri, hit cinemas on Friday, July 18 and has unexpectedly turned out to be a sleeper hit. Despite featuring newcomers like Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda, the film has taken the box office by storm and created a buzz across the country. Saiyaara: A Blockbuster Debut for Ahaan Pandey Saiyaara has turned Ahaan Pandey, cousin of Ananya Panday, into an overnight star. While this marks Ahaan's first appearance on the big screen, his performance has received widespread appreciation from both fans and critics. Aneet Padda, previously seen in Salaam Venky, also shines in what feels like her true debut. Directed by the renowned Mohit Suri, known for romantic hits like Awarapan, Aashiqui 2, Hamari Adhuri Kahani and Ek Villain, Saiyaara has successfully captured the hearts of audiences. Box Office Collection: Saiyaara's Soaring Success Produced with an estimated movie budget of Rs 35-40 crore, Saiyaara has delivered extraordinary results at the box office. It has registered the highest ever opening weekend for a film with newcomers, collecting around Rs 83 crore in just three days. Day 1 (Friday): Strong opening with high occupancy in theatres. Day 2 (Saturday): Collected Rs 25 crore, showing a steady growth. Day 3 (Sunday): Earned an impressive Rs 35.75 crore, thanks to positive word of mouth. Day 4 (Monday): A slight dip was expected, yet it managed to collect Rs 24 crore. Day 5 (Tuesday): Benefitted from lower ticket rates and increased footfall, raking in Rs 25 crore. Day 6 (Wednesday till afternoon): Collected Rs 9.22 crore, with expectations of crossing Rs 15-18 crore by the end of the day. According to early reports by Sacnilk, the total box office collection of Saiyaara has reached approximately Rs 141.47 crore, and it is expected to cross the Rs 150 crore milestone shortly. Star Cast Fees: How Much Were Ahaan Pandey and Others Paid? Although Yash Raj Films (YRF) has not officially disclosed the star cast fees, industry sources suggest that new actors in major productions typically receive between Rs 3 to Rs 5 crore, according to Financial Express and several other websites. Given Ahaan Pandey's strong industry connections—being the nephew of Chunky Panday and brother of Ananya Panday—he is reportedly paid more than co-star Aneet Padda. Even though there is no formal confirmation regarding the exact amounts, it's believed that the rising actor has signed a multi-film deal with the banner, hinting at a promising future. Mohit Suri's Directorial Fee Director Mohit Suri, known for making many successful Bollywood films, has reportedly charged Rs 6 to Rs 8 crore for directing Saiyaara. Given his established reputation and knack for delivering musical romantic hits, this figure seems well-deserved. His experience has clearly played a key role in elevating the film's overall impact and success. Saiyaara Sets a New Benchmark for Romantic Films With stunning performances, strong direction, and overwhelming box office numbers, Saiyaara is proving to be a game-changer for both its stars and director. The impressive movie budget, extraordinary box office collection, and attention around the star cast fees, especially for Ahaan Pandey, have made the film a talking point in the industry.
