Saiyaara Shatters Myths About Newcomers, Says Madhur Bhandarkar: ‘No PR, Just Raw Talent'
Last Updated: Madhur Bhandarkar praises Mohit Suri's Saiyaara, calling it a bold film that proves talent matters more than big names or PR. Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda shine in debut. Mohit Suri's Saiyaara, starring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, hit theatres on July 18, and the early reactions have been overwhelmingly positive. This romantic drama marks Ahaan's Bollywood debut and Aneet's first leading role, and it's already making waves for its heartfelt storytelling and fresh performances. Amid the rising buzz, filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar shared high praise for the film. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), he wrote, '#Saiyyara has shattered every myth about launching newcomers. No big names, no big PR, just raw talent and fearless storytelling. In an industry obsessed with stars, Saiyaara proved that audiences are ready for the unpredictable. A bold reminder: It's not about who you know. It's about what you bring." #Saiyyara has shattered every myth about launching big names, no big PR just raw talent and fearless an industry obsessed with stars, Saiyyara proved that audiences are ready for the unpredictable.🙏 A bold reminder: It's not about who you know.… — Madhur Bhandarkar (@imbhandarkar) July 18, 2025 He added, 'Exciting times for Hindi cinema. Congratulations to @mohit11481 and team!! Kudos to @yrf for backing this!!" The film follows Krish Kapoor (Ahaan Panday), an ambitious young singer, and Vaani Batra (Aneet Padda), a former singer who now works as a lyricist. Their creative paths cross when Vaani begins writing songs for Krish, and soon a romantic connection develops. But just as their relationship deepens, a major obstacle emerges, testing their bond. Director Mohit Suri revealed that the concept for Saiyaara came from YRF producer Akshaye Widhani and Aditya Chopra. Interestingly, the decision to keep both actors out of media attention until the film's release was intentional. Suri shared that it was a conscious effort to avoid clichéd promotional chatter. In an interview with Just Too Filmy, Suri explained, 'Until the two actors don't have anything behind them to talk about, the conversation will be filled with questions like 'Who is the prankster on the set?' or 'How is it to work with Mohit Suri?' It's all redundant stuff, and I don't think anyone has any interest in listening to all that." With Saiyaara, the makers have steered away from conventional marketing tropes, choosing instead to let the film—and its newcomers—speak for themselves. And judging by the reactions, it's a refreshing change that audiences are welcoming with open arms. First Published: July 18, 2025, 17:15 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
