Saiyaara Box Office Day 2: Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda's Debut Earns A Smashing Rs 45 Crore
Earlier, filmmaker Mahesh had said, 'Every generation has love story that defines it. Saiyaara, to me, will be the most definitive romantic film of this generation. When I made Aashiqui, I did it with a lot of purity and I was fortunate that people connected to it deeply and made the two newcomers into overnight stars. I expect Mohit Suri to do the same with Saiyaara."
The veteran director also said he had always encouraged Mohit to work with newcomers and is happy he teamed up with YRF for Saiyaara. He said, 'I'm thrilled to see him take the plunge with Saiyaara with two really talented actors who are simply sparkling on the screen. I'm also very happy that he has a studio like YRF beside him and behind him for this project, who have such a rich cinematic legacy."
