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

Mithoon unveils soulful single ‘Chandaniya' from album ‘Master of Melody'
Renowned music composer Mithoon has released his latest single, Chandaniya, a soul-stirring track rooted deeply in emotional resonance. Featuring vocals by Vishal Mishra and penned by acclaimed lyricist Sayeed Quadri, the song is part of Mithoon's introspective album Master of Melody. Following the overwhelming success of Saiyaara, Chandaniya marks the second offering from the album and continues Mithoon's signature style of minimalist and emotionally rich storytelling through music. Speaking about the track, Mithoon shared, '2025 has been humbling. Watching people connect with my music has been overwhelming. Chandaniya is honest, introspective, and stripped to its essence — exactly the emotional space I always return to.' The music video, directed by Dhruwal Patel and Jigar Mulani, stars Ashish Chanchlani and Elli AvrRam. Their performances bring depth to the track's quiet intensity, perfectly aligning with the song's core message. Presented by Gulshan Kumar and T-Series, Chandaniya is now available on T-Series' YouTube channel and all major streaming platforms. Mithoon, known for his minimalist compositions, reflected on his approach: 'You can't really deconstruct my songs. I believe the emotion is the identity of the song, and minimal programming keeps that essence intact.' He credits filmmaker Mohit Suri — with whom he shares a 20-year working relationship — for influencing his creative restraint. 'Mohit often approves my compositions just from piano renditions. He keeps my passion grounded, ensuring the emotion leads the music.' With Chandaniya, Mithoon once again affirms his reputation as a master of emotionally driven melodies that resonate deeply with listeners.

Mohit Suri, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's ‘Saiyaara' becomes 2025's third biggest Hindi hit edging out Ajay Devgn's 'Raid 2'
Mohit Suri's Saiyaara is now the third highest-grossing film of 2025. The movie stars Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. Saiyaara surpassed Ajay Devgn's Raid 2 collection. The film earned ₹173.96 crore, exceeding Raid 2's lifetime collection. Saiyaara might beat Housefull 5's record soon. The movie's success is notable because of its newcomer leads. After a thunderous first week where it collected Rs 172.5 crore , Mohit Suri 's Saiyaara has officially become the third highest-grossing film of 2025, edging past Ajay Devgn 's Raid 2 on its 8th day. The romantic action-drama starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda has added Rs 1.46 crore on it's second Friday till 12 Noon, taking the overall collection to Rs 173.96 crore overtaking Raid 2's lifetime India net of Rs 173.44 crore. Mohit Suri Spills On 20 Years In Bollywood - Ahaan & Aneet, Alia Bhatt Dream Collab & More Released last Friday, Saiyaara opened with Rs 21.5 crore and saw a sharp upward trend through its first weekend, peaking on Sunday with Rs 35.75 crore. With a strong Monday hold at Rs 24 crore and a solid Tuesday of Rs 25 crore, the film continued its impressive run even mid-week where it collected Rs 21.5 crore on Wednesday and Rs 18.75 crore on Thursday. With afternoon, evening and night shows yet to be accounted for, the film is to cross Rs 184 crore by the end of Day 8, which would mean surpassing the lifetime total of Housefull 5 (Rs 183.38 crore) — making it the second highest-grossing Hindi film of 2025, behind only Vicky Kaushal 's Chhaava which has collected Rs 585.5 crore in Hindi. Last night Saiyaara was on the third spot as it zoomed past Aamir Khan 's Sitaare Zameen Par's collection of Rs 164.91 crore. What's more impressive is that Saiyaara has achieved this milestone with two newcomers in the lead, making it one of the rare Bollywood blockbusters to do so. The film has found resonance among the youth, with its emotional core, chart-topping music, and gripping performances driving repeat viewership across urban and tier-2 centres. It would be interesting to see how far can Saiyaara walk in the days to come as within next week Aditya Chopra is set to release his next big Spy instalment in War 2 with Hrithik Roshan , and Kiara Advani.
