Mohit Suri breaks down in emotional BTS video from 'Saiyaara' set with Ahaan Panday, Aneet Padda

Mint21-07-2025
Acclaimed director Mohit Suri was visibly emotional during the final day of shooting for Saiyaara, his latest romantic musical drama starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda.
A behind-the-scenes video from the wrap-up schedule has gone viral, capturing the filmmaker in tears as he embraced cast and crew in a heartfelt farewell.
The video, originally shared by cinematographer Ashok Keer on Instagram, shows Suri breaking down as the unit applauds the end of filming.
The clip features lead actors Ahaan and Aneet, dressed as bride and groom in traditional attire, clapping and hugging each other while visibly moved by their director's emotional reaction.
As the camera pans, Suri is seen hugging crew members tightly, tears in his eyes. Actor Rajesh Kumar, who plays Aneet's father in the film, looks on with a warm smile, clearly touched by the moment.
'Saiyaara' is the love story of Krish Kapoor (Ahaan Panday), an aspiring singer, and Vaani Batra (Aneet Padda), a gifted writer. The film explores their emotional journey through love, heartbreak, and sacrifice, and has resonated with audiences since its release.
The opening weekend saw a modest but positive performance at the box office, bolstered by praise from several industry veterans.
While Suri is no stranger to helming emotionally intense stories — with credits including 'Aashiqui 2' and 'Ek Villain' — Saiyaara appears to have struck a particularly personal chord. The emotional farewell highlights the passion and dedication the filmmaker poured into the project.
'Saiyaara' released in theatres on July 18.

Saiyaara box office: After Pushpa 2, Stree 2, Baahubali 2 & Chhaava, Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda starrer becomes 10th film to achieve this glorious feat

After emerging as the 2nd highest grosser of the year, Saiyaara has now become the 10th film to earn over Rs 100 crore in its 2nd week at the box office. In fact, even biggies like Pathaan, KGF 2, War, Padmaavat, Sanju, PK, Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai have not achieved this milestone read more In the times, where many Bollywood movies are struggling to get footfalls in the cinema halls, Saiyaara, featuring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, continues to achieve milestones at the box office. After emerging as the 2nd highest grosser of the year, the musical romantic drama has now become the 10th film to earn over Rs 100 crore in its 2nd week at the box office. In fact, even biggies like Pathaan, KGF 2, War, Padmaavat, Sanju, PK, Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai have not achieved this milestone. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Highest 2nd week grossers of all time Pushpa 2 (Hindi) - Rs 199 crore Chhaava - Rs 186.18 crore Stree 2 - Rs 145.80 crore Baahubali 2 (Hindi) - Rs 143.25 crore Animal - Rs 140.51 crore Jawan - Rs 137.06 crore Gadar 2 - Rs 134.47 crore Dangal - Rs 115.96 crore Saiyaara - Rs 110.50 crore The Kashmir Files - Rs 110.03 crore _Saiyaara_ is expected to enter the Rs 300 crore club in its third weekend; however, it would be crucial for the movie to hold well amid two releases - Son of Sardaar 2 and Dhadak 2. Despite not going all out with the promotions, Saiyaara garnered unprecedented excitement among the cinegoers. Before the release of the movie, director Mohit Suri spoke about it and told Firstpost, 'I've been inside the studio for the last one month. I have no idea. And unlike the past when people travel from one studio to another, this is everything inhouse at YRF. So I haven't really gone out and met the world outside. Normally, when you are working on other films, you go out for the day; for sound, edit, and VFX. It was different different places. And just hearing it now, it does feel it does feel very redeeming and validating because when I started off this film, I was quite discouraged by a lot of senior people saying that nobody would be interested in a young love story. Because at that time, larger-than-life films were being made and I just thought that my voice would be lost there when everyone was shouting. So I just went and tried to make a film which is very different from what others were doing. And to me, the fact that people are appreciating that the difference that it's standing out means a lot.'
