Mohit Suri
says Saiyaara was always meant to feature fresh faces
Director Mohit Suri, who helmed Saiyaara, told News18 in an interview that the film was always meant to feature fresh faces. He shared that
Yash Raj Films
head Aditya Chopra told him the film wouldn't work with established stars. Initially, Mohit considered suggesting big names for the lead roles but later stuck to his gut and cast newcomers Ahaan Panday and
Aneet Padda
.
'I really put a lot of my voice into the film. In this atmosphere where everyone was blowing up cars, I was making this love story with new people. I put a lot of myself into writing the film, along with my assistant. I sent the script to YRF during the December holiday weekend, and I chickened out. I thought, let me give him some solution—in the sense of suggesting some actors and known names who would back me and make this film.

I so badly wanted to make this film,' Mohit said.
Varun Badola
disagrees
In a YouTube interview with Nayandeep Rakshit, actor Varun Badola dismissed the notion that Saiyaara proved 'we don't need stars anymore.' He argued that swapping lead actors between films would not yield the same success, explaining that if Ahaan Panday were placed in Jawan, the film would flop, and if
Shah Rukh Khan
were cast in Saiyaara, it would also fail. According to him, Shah Rukh would overshadow the story, while Ahaan would lack the persona needed to lead a big commercial film like Jawan.
Badola also commented on the social media hype around Saiyaara, noting that the promotions seemed over the top. He pointed out how some Instagram posts showed people breaking bangles, beating their chests, or even watching the film while on IV drips—gestures he believed were orchestrated for content. He added, with some humor, that thankfully no one went so far as to break their legs and crawl to the theatre.
About the film
Saiyaara is a Mohit Suri-style love story about Ahaan, a passionate musician, and Aneet, a dedicated writer. Their relationship is tested by loss, sacrifice, and life's challenges. Written by Rohan Shankar and Sankalp Sadanah, the movie also stars Geeta Agrawal Sharma, Sid Makkar, Shaad Randhawa, Rajesh Kumar, and Varun Badola. This marks the first-ever collaboration between Mohit Suri and Yash Raj Films.

Sonakshi Sinha on husband Zaheer Iqbal's effect: I have become nicer to paparazzi because of him
After nearly 15 years in the industry, Sonakshi Sinha says the only way she has stayed grounded is by being authentic: "A lot of actors are misguided, believing they are something that they are not. But if I can show myself authentically to someone, why not? If you keep up a façade, your whole energy is spent in keeping up with it. Main kharch nahin hona chahti uss tarah se." Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal(Photo: Yogen Shah) That same thought drives her latest experiment with fans -a YouTube channel. While long-form content was unfamiliar to her. Sonakshi Sinha says the platform gave her space to connect in an unfiltered way. "When you find something that doesn't feel like work or pressure, it becomes fun," she notes. The actor adds that having the choice of what to put out is liberating. "Although people might feel I am putting my whole life out there, I'm actually not. I'm putting out only how much I want to. It's a small part of me, it's not all my life,' she says, adding, 'Basically YouTube is like my new PR. I'm actually projecting myself the way I want to be projected and not how people want to see me or somebody wants to show me. This is me and I love that.' A regular on her videos is her husband, actor Zaheer Iqbal whose easy-going approach has also changed her attitude towards the paparazzi. "I don't want to get clicked when I go out because that's my time. But with Zaheer, I've my time. become a more welcoming person. His attitude is: instead of cribbing, let's take a pic and leave with a smile. He is a very positive person. I've become nicer to (paps) because of Zaheer." she admits. On the work front, Sonakshi was last seen in her brother Kussh S Sinha's directorial debut Nikita Roy. Working under him, she says, didn't blur professional boundaries: 'You go on set as an actor, and there is a person to direct you; that could be anyone. Here, it happened to be my brother. So, I looked at him in that way, like he's my director and I am his actor.'

Asked If He Throws "Tantrums On Sets", Shah Rukh Khan's LOL Reply, "Nobody Allows Me..."
Mumbai (Maharashtra): Does Shah Rukh Khan throw tantrums on set? Fans were eager to find out during his latest "Ask SRK" session. The superstar addressed the question with his trademark humour, leaving no room for doubt about his on-set behaviour. On Saturday evening, the superstar surprised everyone by hosting a fresh Q&A session after a long break. During the chat, he answered questions about his upcoming film 'King,' and even gave a soft launch to his son Aryan Khan's directorial debut series 'The Ba***ds of Bollywood.' When asked if he throws tantrums on sets, SRK dismissed the idea with his trademark humour. "Nobody allows me to throw tantrums on sets," he wrote. Adding a cheeky twist, he continued, "Now on King even less the director is so too strict and organised." King is being directed by Siddharth Anand, who earlier helmed Pathaan. Another fan asked about the release of 'King.' SRK replied with his usual wit: "Did some good shoot... starting soon again. Only leg shots, then moving to the upper body... Insha Allah, it will be done fast. @justSidAnand is working hard to finish." During the same Q&A session, a fan asked when they could see something from Aryan's series. Shah Rukh playfully responded, "So many people are asking, so I have to tell Netflix... Beta show bana raha hai, Baap sirf wait kar raha hai... @NetflixIndia, Tum kya kar rahe ho??!!" to which Netflix responded that the first look of Aryan Khan's show would be unveiled on August 17. Meanwhile, Shah Rukh recently won his first-ever National Film Award. The actor was honoured with the Best Actor award at the 71st National Film Awards for his powerful performance in 'Jawan'. SRK made his highly anticipated return to the big screen in January 2023 after a four-year hiatus with YRF's 'Pathaan,' which shattered box-office records and attracted a massive audience. Following the success of 'Pathaan,' SRK gave fans another blockbuster with Jawan, which not only delighted movie buffs but also earned him his first National Award.
