Yash Raj Films has officially unveiled the trailer for Saiyaara, introducing two fresh faces to Bollywood — Ahaan Panday and Big Girls Don’t Cry actress Aneet Padda. Directed by Mohit Suri, the film dives into the intensity of first love, nostalgia, and youth. However, director Mohit Suri recently revealed that getting this film made was not without hesitation.

In an earlier interview with Bollywood Hungama, Suri candidly spoke about the challenges of making a big-budget film with newcomers in today’s market. “I actually believe they will watch it. But it is not my Rs 25-30 crores going into the film. Those were different times. Things cost less. So yeah, now things have—with OTT just around the corner, and also things have gone up. And technicians charge more. Everything is charging more, everything costs more.”

Reflecting on his early career, Suri added: “To be honest, the company I came from, I think, was a very ballsy company, if you really look. Actually, half the films I made, and which had done well, should have never been made. If you’re going like, let’s talk about Kalyug or even Zeher—whatever—you know, was a very offbeat film that we worked on together. So all those films, if I was really following trade magazines or figures and all, none of these films should have really been made, right?”

Suri went on to explain that even though other producers showed interest in Saiyaara, he ultimately stuck with YRF. “So you would expect the outside people to behave that way. So I did have a couple of people who were interested in doing this film, not mentioning who, but actually, I tried to throw in those names, and I remember Akshaye [Widhani, CEO at YRF] telling me that, ‘Yeah, yaar, you can get them. We can get anyone—being you and us together, right? But we’re telling you—we’re just satisfying the commercial department and the distribution department in the company. But the box office is not going to lie.’”

He continued: “This film is about newcomers, about falling in love for the first time. Yeah, that’s—and yet, I was feeling scared to ask my producer to invest so much on a newcomer.”

Despite the apprehension, the trailer has already generated buzz, and Saiyaara could be a major break for Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. The film is slated to release on July 18.
