For those unaware, Saiyaara is a romantic musical drama featuring Bollywood actor Chunky Panday's nephew Ahaan Panday in the lead role, marking his debut in cinema. The movie tells the story of two artistic souls who find each other through the harmony of music, despite hailing from two contrasting worlds.
As their feelings deepen, challenges arise as they age, with circumstances evolving. How do they manage to hold onto each other when things get tough forms the rest of the story.
With Ahaan in the lead, Aneet Padda plays the co-lead in the movie directed by Mohit Suri.
Mahesh Babu's work front
Mahesh Babu is currently involved in the work on his movie, tentatively titled SSMB29, directed by SS Rajamouli. The film, touted as a globe-trotting jungle adventure, is said to feature the superstar playing a rugged explorer in the vein of Indiana Jones, drawing inspiration from African tales. However, an official confirmation about the plot hasn't been made yet.
The much-awaited magnum opus by the RRR helmer is said to have been made on a whopping budget of Rs 900-1000 crore. Initially, it was speculated that the film would be released as a two-part series after completing the shoot by 2026.
However, the makers are said to have reconsidered their decision and will likely release it as a single venture, mostly in 2027.
Moving ahead, apart from Mahesh, the film will feature Priyanka Chopra Jonas as the co-lead, alongside actors like Prithviraj Sukumaran and R. Madhavan in key roles.

Box Office: Saiyaara goes on an overdrive on Sunday; Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda starrer collects Rs 30 crore on day 3
The Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda-led Saiyaara has gone on an overdrive at the box office on Sunday, as very early trends are indicating Sunday business in the range of Rs 29.00 crore to Rs 31.00 crore, with chances to go higher too depending on how the night shows perform. The film was literally running to packed houses all across the board, and the exhibitors too have gone ahead to allot more shows to this Mohit Suri-directed romantic saga. The YRF-produced film opened at Rs 21.25 crore on Friday, followed by a jump to Rs 24.50 crore on Saturday, and peaking with Rs 30 crore on Sunday. The three-day total of Saiyaara is estimated to stand at Rs 75.75 crore, and the film is headed to record a strong hold in collections on Monday, as a large chunk of cinema-going audience have pre-booked their tickets for the fourth day due to capacity issues on Sunday. While the business on day one and day two was dominated by the youth and masses, the family audience have embraced the film on the third day, which is a great sign for the trajectory in long run for the romantic saga. The music has become extremely popular, and the on-ground reports are getting strong by the day, which is an early indication of an unbelievable lifetime number in the long run. These numbers have come in for rank newcomers, and it's after a while since a newcomer film has set the box office on fire. Saiyaara has successfully established Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda as potential stars in the horizon, and right choices from hereon can give the Gen-Z a new generation of heroes. These numbers are beyond historic and probably the biggest for a feature film in the post-pandemic world in real terms, as a film devoid of star-power could just hit the Rs 300 crore club in India. This is certainly the beginning of a new era, with romantic films beginning to hit the marque. If the weekend numbers have shocked you, await the weekday results, as we await the magic to hit a new high in the coming few days. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates!

‘Saiyaara': Mahesh Babu, Alia Bhatt, Arjun Kapoor and others shower praises on Mohit Suri's romance drama
The Saiyaarafever has truly gripped the tinsel town. Filmmaker Mohit Suri's intense romance drama, featuring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has turned out to be one of the most pleasant surprises this year. The film has been garnering a lot of praise from within the film industry as well. On Sunday (July 20), Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu praised Saiyaara, calling it 'a beautifully made film with honest storytelling.' The star passed on his love to the two newcomer actors as well. 'Big love to #AhaanPanday & #AneetPadda for living their roles so effortlessly… This one deserves all the love coming its way…' wrote Mahesh. Take a bow #Saiyaara team…👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 What a beautifully made film with honest storytelling, standout performances and top notch execution….. Big love to #AhaanPanday & #AneetPadda for living their roles so effortlessly… This one deserves all the love coming its way… ♥️♥️♥️… — Mahesh Babu (@urstrulyMahesh) July 20, 2025 Meanwhile, Bollywood star Alia Bhatt penned a heartfelt note to the team behind Saiyaara. Praising Ahaan and Aneet, she wrote, 'I don't remember the last time I looked at two actors with such awe. With stars in my eyes… watching the stars in yours. You both shine with such individuality, such honesty — I could watch you again, and again, and again. (And let's be honest… I probably will.)' 'To the captain of this very wonderful ship @mohitsuri — what a film. What feeling. What music!!!!!!!! You made me feel things that only the movies can make you feel. Saiyaara is full of heart, full of soul, full of something that just stays with you… in the best way,' added Alia. On the other hand, actor Arjun Kapoor penned a sweet, emotional note on Instagram Stories. The actor said Mohit's film made him feel 'alive and vulnerable,' an that it relive so much from his own personal life. '@ahaanpandayy ur wait has been worth it so felt so raw so visceral terrific debut brother...@aneetpadda I'm a fan for life... u had me in awe while u spoke ur eyes ur vulnerability ur absolute honesty the way u looked at him made us love him & u more,' added Arjun, before wishing his best to the producers and the technicians behind the film. Meanwhile, the film is having a dream run at the box office, having collected ₹45.75 crores in its first two days of release. Netizens have taken note of how the film's strong opening is despite having almost no media buildup before its release. Suri has revealed that he wished to keep the opening pair away from pre-release promotions, like he did with his 2013 hit Aashiqui 2, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur, to ensure that the emotions on-screen felt more authentic. The move seems to have worked in favour of the film. The Hindu's review of Saiyaararead, 'With mental health as the villain of the piece, the story echoes the times when love is reduced to a lollipop by market forces. In the digital age, Mohit dials back to the pre-rom-com era, when heartache travelled through the screen on the wings of melodies, sacrifice was considered a virtue, and selfless love was celebrated.' Saiyaara is produced by Akshaye Widhani of Yash Raj Films.
