Ahaan Panday's Saiyaara Writer Says ChatGPT Suggested THIS Ending: 'The Hero-Heroine Should…'
Last Updated: Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Saiyaara's writers say they asked ChatGPT for the climax. What came next surprised everyone, including Mohit Suri. 4Saiyaara movie story: Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Mohit Suri directorial Saiyaara might be the year's biggest romantic success story, but it turns out the writers behind the blockbuster film had no idea how to end it—until one of them jokingly turned to ChatGPT. In a recent chat with film critic Komal Nahta, co-writer Sankalp Sadanah opened up about the unexpected roadblock they hit while working on the film's climax. Despite finishing the full script, the ending just wasn't landing. 'We had written the whole story but we were yet to crack the climax. We didn't know what the resolution of the film will be," Sankalp admitted. With the pressure mounting, one of his assistants, Chetan Naidu, playfully turned to AI for help. 'At that point, I had an assistant Chetan Naidu and he asked ChatGPT also, just for fun. There was no seriousness behind it. He asked, 'How would Mohit Suri end such a movie?' And it responded by saying that hero and heroine should both die," Sankalp recalled with a laugh. Director Mohit Suri was also leaning toward a tragic ending, given the heroine's situation in the film. 'Even Mohit was thinking that given the heroine's condition, it was inching towards a tragedy. But we couldn't crack it. Then one day, I was stuck in traffic and it just came to me," he said. Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri and starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has gone on to become a box office sensation. The film has crossed Rs 300 crore nett in India and grossed over ₹500 crore worldwide, putting it within reach of Pathaan's global record. The film's surprising success has sent shockwaves through the industry, especially in a year when films with fresh faces have struggled to bring audiences to theatres. Last week, a fan-made AI-generated version of the Saiyaara title track featuring the legendary voice of Kishore Kumar added a nostalgic twist to the viral wave. Set against visuals of Rimjhim Gire Sawan, the AI cover has taken social media by storm. First Published: August 07, 2025, 13:37 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

This Is The First Cricketer To Join OnlyFans, Also Played For Virat Kohli's RCB
England pacer Tymal Mills has become the first professional cricketer in the world to join OnlyFans, a platform most commonly associated with adult content, but insists his motive is purely to connect with fans over cricket and lifestyle, not glamour. (News18 Hindi) The 32-year-old fast bowler, who last played international cricket in 2023, told The New York Times that his move to the site is aimed at offering a "behind-the-scenes" look at a cricketer's life. "There won't be any glamorous photos. This isn't about that. It's just cricket and real talk," Mills said, adding that it is a new space for him and he is genuinely excited about it. (News18 Hindi) 3/8 Mills is well aware of the platform's controversial reputation. I know what people associate this site with. But I'm not here for that. I'm not going to do anything like that, he clarified. While his account is free to subscribe to, he mentioned that some premium content may be paywalled in the future. (News18 Hindi) Founded in the UK in 2016, OnlyFans shot to fame primarily as a platform for adult entertainers, though it also hosts creators from fitness, music, and now, it seems, cricket. Mills, known for his raw pace, was once considered among England's most exciting T20 prospects. However, his international career has been plagued by frequent injuries. He has represented England in 16 T20Is, taking 14 wickets. (News18 Hindi) In franchise cricket, Mills has played for Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League. RCB picked him up in 2017 (not 2012, as earlier reported) for Rs 12 crore, but he managed just 5 wickets in as many matches. (News18 Hindi) Mills' stint with Mumbai Indians in 2022 was more modest with 6 wickets in 5 matches, but he still couldn't cement his place. At present, Mills is playing for Southern Brave in the ongoing 'The Hundred' tournament in England. (News18 Hindi)
