Mohit Suri recalls Aditya Roy Kapur's first meeting for 'Aashiqui 2' in chappals and shorts: ‘Ranbir Kapoor told him to meet me'
Filmmaker Mohit Suri 's latest directorial venture 'Saiyaara' has taken the box office by storm. The film, starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda , is receiving excellent reviews from fans and industry insiders. Many audience members shared that the nostalgic touch and fresh cast echoed Mohit's 2013 hit ' Aashiqui 2 '. Saiyaara was not originally intended to be a standalone film—it reportedly evolved from what was once planned to be 'Aashiqui 3'. Mohit recently shared how he had chosen Aditya Roy Kapur opposite Shraddha Kapoor in 'Aashiqui 2'. Mohit Suri opens up about his first meeting with Aditya Roy Kapur Blockbuster Debut! 'Saiyaara' Opens with ₹20 Cr, Ahaan Panday Shines During a candid conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Mohit recalled the early days of casting for 'Aashiqui 2'. He explained that a nationwide talent hunt had initially been conducted to discover fresh faces. However, the plan did not unfold as expected. 'Then suddenly, one of my assistants called Aditya Roy Kapur. I think Aditya didn't even know who I was. He had no idea. I think Ranbir (Kapoor) told him, 'Go meet him, he's a good director.' Aditya showed up in shorts, chappals with socks, and a shirt. And while I was talking to him, he was spinning around in a revolving chair,' Mohit recalled. Mohit's team was offended by Aditya's attitude The director admitted that his team had found Aditya's attitude unusual at the time and were offended by his behaviour. However, Mohit was impressed and could envision him in his frames. 'I was thinking—this guy has come here on a bike. If this same guy had arrived in a Range Rover, he would be my character, Rahul Jaykar. So I believe the best casting happens when the camera isn't rolling,' he added. About 'Saiyaara' 'Saiyaara', which hit theatres on July 18, collected Rs 21 crore at the box office on its first day of release. The film is expected to mint Rs 45 crore by the end of its second day, according to Sacnilk.
