_Saiyaara_ is expected to remain steady on the weekdays and inch closer to a triple century. However, with the arrival of Ajay Devgn-Mrunal Thakur starrer Son of Sardaar 2 & Siddhant Chaturvedi-Triptii Dimri's Dhadak 2, the romantic drama is expected to face a screen crunch in its third week. It is currently the 2nd highest Bollywood and Indian grosser globally of 2025 after Vicky Kaushal's _Chhaava_.
Before the release of the movie, director Mohit Suri spoke about Saiyaara's comparison with Aashiqui 2 in an interview with Firstpost. He said, 'When I made Zeher, they said it looked like Murder. When I made Ek Villain, they said it looked like Murder 2. When I made Malang, they said it looked like Ek Villain. When I made Aashiqui 2, they said it looked like Woh Lame and Rockstar. So I think when I go ahead and make my next film, they'll say it looks like Saiyaara. I think when they're comparing it to my own work rather than somebody else's, it's good.'
Saiyaara is directed by Mohit Suri, known for helming movies like Aashiqui 2, Ek Villain, Awarapan, Kalyug, Zeher, Murder 2, Woh Lamhe, Raaz: The Mystery Continues, Hamari Adhuri Kahani, Half Girlfriend, Crook, Ek Villain Returns & Malang.
Bankrolled by YRF, the movie also features Varun Badola & Rajesh Kumar in supporting roles.

Salman Khan's bodyguard Shera reportedly has a net worth of Rs 100 crore and owns a Range Rover worth 1.4 crore; knows everything about the star, even the women in his life
Salman Khan is one of the biggest stars in the country and while his aura is unmatched, even people around him have eventually got quite popular with time. For instance, his bodyguard Shera is no less than a celebrity himself. Reports state that he has a net worth of Rs 100 crore and he even owns a range rover worth Rs 1.4 crore. But Khan has managed to earn the loyalty of people around him. Shera has vouched to protect him at any cost, till his last breath. He has often shared his unwavering commitment towards the star and their bonding is hard to miss. His real name is Gurmeet Singh Jolly. His association with Salman started in 1997 after Sohail Khan hired him to manage security for Salman in Indore. Before that, they had briefly met when Shera was guarding Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves during a visit to India. As quoted by Screen, Shera recalled, 'I had just set up my own company—Tiger Security—and that year (1995) Sohailbhai (Khan's brother) called me because he wanted someone to go with Salman for shows and all. Sohailbhai was impressed with me, seeing the way I talk and all. He asked me: 'Eh yaar, bhai ke saath tu rahega kya? Rahega na? (Will you stay with bhai? You'll stay, won't you?)'.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 500Mbps fibre broadband: £20pm, £22pm Apr'26, £24pm Apr'27. 24m. Community Fibre Learn More Undo That was the moment the deal was struck. 'That time I used to wear a turban. I am a Sikh. Because of my job I had to leave the turban. It was not possible to keep because of the crowds. So I had to cut my hair. I started wearing a cap. We went for a show and gelled well.' At the Bodyguard trailer launch, Shera declared his readiness to protect Salman at any cost, saying, 'I am ready to take a bullet for him. But Bhai is the real-life bodyguard; if push comes to shove, he can take 10 bullets for his family and friends.' Salman, in turn, shared the deep trust he places in Shera: 'I can trust him with everything. I can trust him with money, I can trust him with women, I can trust him with my family, I can trust him with my life. I can trust him before alcohol and after alcohol.' Salman also recounted a humorous episode from one night when Shera, intoxicated, challenged everyone to a boxing match. 'I remember one night, everybody had had a little too much to drink, and suddenly, they wanted to spar. I heard sounds of bodies hitting the floor, and saw my brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri 's mouth split open because Shera was in total form. He then called me over, and taunted me by saying, 'No bodyguard around to protect you today'. I told him to chill, but he wouldn't. So I wore the gloves, and saw Shera running towards me. I got a lucky shot in, and I knew that I couldn't give him the chance to hit me back, so I kept punching him while he was down. Shera was so drunk, he started crying. He went into the kitchen, came out with a toothpick, and started slashing himself with it. 'Maalik, I can do anything for you', he said,' Salman recalled with a laugh. Even on his very first day working with Salman, Shera needed a little extra help to keep up with the work that comes with Khan's superstar status. He shared with Mint , 'I was little tired. He gave me a pill. Bole, 'Have this'. One dose of something he gave me. I had it. You can't believe it: I ran 8 km in front of his car to clear the road (of fans). That was the job I did with Bhai.' At the Bodyguard launch event, Salman teasingly asked Shera about the 'woman' he was guarding when they first met, to which Shera replied with a mischievous smile, 'Which one?' Despite Shera knowing all about his 'Maalik,' Salman doesn't mind his bodyguard speaking to the media. Shera revealed, 'I never talked to the press actually. He told me, if you want you can talk. I said 'No, no'. Now, you see, things are changed. I will never write the book Salmanbhai joked about, that if I write, he will be doomed. Don't try to lead me there. It won't work.'
