Talking about working with debut singers, Faheem Abdullah and Arslan Nizami from Kashmir, Suri said, 'The recording and jamming sessions used to be very serious till the time I was there. After that, what did they do? I don't know. They asked me to leave the recording session. Then I just realised the fun part started after that". The director remembered that while they were all in the room, Tanishk looked at him and said, 'Sir, please leave now.' Mohit laughed and said, 'He practically told me to get out.' He went on to explain that Tanishk knew the singers were trying to impress him without giving their best. Though strict with them, Tanishk was also protecting the singers and helping them improve. Mohit added, 'All throughout he was like, 'No, no, no. sir, let them dub in their hometown only because they are in their comfort zone. Or else they will get scared'. That was such a sweet thing. He was like a father who was holding and protecting them. I am not very interfering but a very curious director who wants to be everywhere. I was told to get out by Tanishk". 'He is a musical genius. He knows how to do it the best. And the one thing I know is in music, it's the idea that's the genius", he concluded. The film 'Saiyaara' will hit theatres on July 18, 2025.
