Saiyaara writers asked ChatGPT to suggest film's climax, the response made them laugh: ‘It said hero and heroine should both…'
In a chat with Komal Nahta on his YouTube channel, Sankalp was asked about how he came up with the film's beautiful happy ending and he shared that he had written the entire screenplay of the film, but was yet to crack the climax. He shared, '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. 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 laughed as he shared this anecdote and said that even Mohit Suri was thinking that the heroine's story could end in tragedy, given her condition. '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 has turned out to be the second biggest hit of the year, and has made over Rs 300 crore nett in the domestic market. Globally, the film has grossed over Rs 500 crore and it just inches away from crossing Pathaan's record at the global box office. At a time when Hindi films have largely not been performing well at the box office, Saiyaara's success has shocked industry experts. In the last few years, films with newcomers have not been successful in attracting the audience, which is why Saiyaara's success is being seen as an anomaly.

Lights, Camera, Policy: Delhi To Get New Filming Plan To Attract Global Eye
New Delhi: Delhi is eyeing a place on the global film map, with Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announcing that her government will roll out a new policy to position the national capital as an international shooting destination. Speaking at the closing ceremony of the Celebrating India Film Festival (CIFF) at Siri Fort, Ms Gupta said the policy will introduce a single-window clearance system for approving film and other shoot applications. The government also plans to build world-class industry infrastructure to make Delhi a full-fledged film hub. "We are deeply committed to transforming Delhi into a film hub," she said. Rs 30 Crore For International Film Festival Alongside the policy, the CM announced that the government will co-organise an International Film Festival in the capital with a budget allocation of Rs 30 crore. The event aims to bring together filmmakers, distributors and creative professionals from across the globe, while also showcasing Delhi's culture and diversity. Ms Gupta described the festival as a milestone in Delhi's cultural journey. "Imagining such a magnificent event in the heart of Delhi - and then turning it into reality - is no easy task. This festival has sent out a message that Delhi is now moving towards becoming a new centre for film production and cultural expression," she said. From Stage To Screen - Keeping Talent In Delhi The CM pointed out that despite housing the National School of Drama (NSD), Delhi has never had a serious initiative to develop its own film industry. "Until now, Mumbai has been synonymous with the film and entertainment industry. Talent from Delhi that manages to make headway often moves to Mumbai for better opportunities. Why should people learn acting in Delhi, only to be forced to seek work in Mumbai?" she asked. Ms Gupta said her government aims to ensure that everyone involved in cinema, television and OTT production has access to everything from shooting to post-production within the city. This, she said, would mean local artists no longer have to migrate for work. Boosting Tourism And Creative Economy The government has earmarked Rs 3 crore specifically to turn Delhi into a hotspot for film production. Officials expect a sharp rise in shooting applications in the coming year, with the single-window system set to streamline approvals. "This is not just about films," Ms Gupta added. "With this new film policy, Delhi will no longer be known solely for politics or history, but also for its culture, creativity and cinematic locations." The International Film Festival will screen films and documentaries from India and abroad on varied themes, offering a platform for emerging talent and fostering global collaborations. City officials believe the initiative will also give a major push to tourism and hospitality in Delhi. Preparations for the festival are already underway, with industry watchers calling it a potential game-changer for Delhi's cultural and economic profile.

New policy to make Delhi a film shooting hub
New Delhi: Chief minister Rekha Gupta on Sunday announced that a new film policy is being framed to position the capital as an international shooting destination. The policy will include a single-window clearance system for approving film and other shoot applications, along with comprehensive plans to develop the necessary infrastructure to transform Delhi into a global film hub. Gupta also announced that an international film festival will be organised in the city and a budget of Rs 30 crore has been earmarked for it. Speaking at the closing ceremony of the Celebrating India Film Festival (CIFF) at Siri Fort Auditorium, Gupta said the govt is committed to turning Delhi into a cultural and cinematic centre. "A film policy is being shaped to establish Delhi as an international shooting destination. Applications for film and other shoots will be approved through a single-window system," she said, adding, the govt is planning to develop the film industry in the capital and provide related facilities. The event was attended by several political dignitaries and many eminent figures from the film industry.

The govt expects a surge in film shoot applications and plans to fast-track approvals to encourage filmmakers to explore Delhi's locations and stories. She said that this festival has sent out a message that Delhi is now becoming a new centre for film production and cultural expression. "With this new film policy, Delhi will no longer be known just for politics or history, but also for its culture, creativity, and cinematic appeal," she said. Gupta highlighted the irony that while Delhi is home to prestigious institutions like the National School of Drama (NSD), talent still migrates to Mumbai for opportunities. "Why should people learn acting in Delhi only to be forced to seek work in Mumbai?" she asked. The CM said the govt now aims to provide complete support for the film and television ecosystem—from shooting to post-production—within the capital. "Local artistes should not have to leave Delhi. Today's event marks a milestone in that direction," she said. Gupta added that the upcoming film festival will not only showcase films and documentaries from India and abroad but also highlight Delhi's rich cultural diversity. Hosting an international film festival in Delhi will also boost tourism, for which preparations are already underway, she said.
