Ahaan Panday kisses Aneet Padda at 'Saiyaara' success bash, netizens get reminded of Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor- Watch
While Aneet Padda and Ahaan Panday starrer Saiyaara has turned out to be a monstrous blockbuster at the box office, ever since its release, there have been reports that it is a copy of the Korean movie A Moment To Remember. However, the writer of the movie Sankalp Sadanah dismissed the news and clarified that it is not a copy of any movie.
'Honestly, so much has already been said about this. All I can say is—the Korean film is out there, and so is Saiyaara. Watch both and judge for yourself. You'll be able to tell whether it's inspired, a copy, or an original," Sankalp said while talking to Komal Nahta.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
And now, the team, that reportedly celebrated the film's success in Singapore, celebrated it all over again in Mumbai. The 'Saiyaara' actor gave a kiss on his actress' forehead as they celebrated the success of their film. Also in attendance was the captain of the ship Mohit Suri.
Netizens were quickly reminded of Aashiqui 2 stars Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor who created the same moment years ago.
The writer revealed that the seed of \_Saiyaara\_ came during a casual meeting with Mohit Suri and recalled, 'It was raining when we came back from a meeting. As I was about to leave, Mohit asked me to stay back and listen to something. He shared an idea and asked me if it was worth building into a film."
'That discussion gave birth to the core of Saiyaara. At that time, there was no story, no screenplay—just a feeling. The seed of the film came from a single emotional thought, a line that appears in the film: 'A hit song isn't the one that stays in your head; it's the one that stays in your heart.' That was the emotion we built everything else around," he added.

War 2 Final North America Premiere Advance Bookings: Hrithik Roshan-Jr NTR starrer ends with reasonable USD 630k; Heads for a USD 900k start
War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji, and starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani is all set for its release in North America today, the 13th of August, 2025. The movie's bookings are reasonable but for the massive stars associated with the film, it's ordinary and probably even underwhelming for most people. Based on the data provided by 'Venky Box Office', the Ayan Mukerji movie has sold tickets worth USD 630k in North America. War 2 Advance Bookings Close With USD 630K For Premieres; Gears Up For USD 900K Start The premiere day collections of War 2 are looking to be in the USD 900k vicinity. A USD 1 million premiere looks difficult, but reaching USD 1 million won't change the outlook of the film. Yes, a positive reception, to a large extent, will. Bollywood movies don't generally have premieres, but that can't be a reason for these lower than expected numbers. With a Tollywood star as big as Jr NTR in the parallel lead,, atleast USD 1.5 million was expected, if not the USD 2.6 million that Devara clocked. The wrong positioning and confused marketing can be blamed for the 'just ordinary' advances. It's only once the film hits theatres, will the view around the movie change, for the better, from the perspective of a Telugu movie watching audience. Coolie Emerges A Clear Favourite In Its Clash Against War 2 Coolie has taken a substantial lead over War 2, everywhere it has opened. In North America, it has already closed its advance with around USD 2.5 million for the premiere day. This means that the advance bookings of the movie are around 4 times as much as War 2, for the premieres. War 2 is expected to be much leggier than its release rival. Will the legs ensure it ends with higher collections than Coolie is to be seen. YRF Eyes A Big Hit Again, After Saiyaara YRF is running high on confidence after Saiyaara, and they will hope that War 2 becomes just as big a hit. The production house made over Rs 275 crore from the Mohit Suri directorial, and now it is to be seen if the Ayan Mukerji directorial can come close to it. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Viral: Before Ahaan-Aneet's Saiyaara, Arjun-Sonakshi Aced The Romantic Bike Wrap Scene In Tevar
New Delhi: Mohit Suri's recent romantic musical Saiyaara has been the talk of the town for more reasons than one. From debutant Ahaan Panday impressing the audience to his chemistry with Aneet Padda. One of the standout scenes in Saiyaara is when Vaani Batra (Aneet Padda) sits behind Krish Kapoor (Ahaan Panday) on his bike, and he wraps his overshirt around them, tying her to himself before they zoom off. However, fans have found a similar clip featuring Sonakshi Sinha and Arjun Kapoor that has gone viral again. What's Happening Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's romantic bike scene, where he wraps his shirt around her and ties a knot, was termed as one of the most romantic scenes in the film. The Internet soon dug up an old video of the 2015 film Tevar, where Sonakshi Sinha and Arjun Kapoor are seen enacting a scene that resembles the Saiyaara viral moment. In the scene from Tevar, Arjun Kapoor is seen tying a scarf around Sonakshi Sinha as she hops onto the bike. He then takes her hand and places it around his waist for support. The comparisons were bound to happen as both scenes highlight an emotional and impactful gesture without the use of dialogues between the lead couple. Fans Reacting To The Comparisons The Internet was divided, while some were in support of Arjun Kapoor, others felt Ahaan Panday did a better job. One Internet user wrote, "That's why we call him Lord Arjun Kapoor." Another Arjun Kapoor fan added, "To be honest, Arjun Kapoor was a decent actor... his 2 States, Aurangzeb, debut movie and many more he acted well... but after Half Girlfriend, his career graph went down." On the contrary, Ahaan Panday's expanding fan club was cheering for him. One comment read, "It is all about creating an impact, which Ahaan Panday did." Another person wrote, "Ahaan made it look better... felt real." Lord #ArjunKapoor > #AhaanPanday #Saiyaara #Tevar — $@M (@SAMTHEBESTEST_) August 10, 2025 About Saiyaara Produced by Yash Raj Films, the film deals with love, loss, and heartbreak in a poignant way. The film stars debutant Ahaan Pandey as Krish Kapoor, a struggling musician, alongside Aneet Padda as Vaani Batra, a young writer diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. In A Nutshell The Internet made comparisons between Ahaan Panday's viral bike scene with Aneet Padda in Saiyaara with an old resurfaced sequence from Tevar featuring Arjun Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha. While some were in favour of Arjun Kapoor, a lot believed Ahaan Panday made it look more real.
