The romantic film revolves around a bold, determined and struggling musician (played by Ahaan) and a fiercely passionate journalist and a gifted composer (played by Aneet). Saiyaara follows the emotional journey of the two and how their love is tested by life's challenges in the signature Mohit Suri style. Based on the 2004 Korean classic A Moment to Remember, Mohit Suri's film explores themes of loss, selflessness and enduring love.
Penned by Rohan Shankar and Sankalp Sadanah, Saiyaara also features strong supporting performances by Geeta Agrawal Sharma, Sid Makkar, Shaad Randhawa, Rajesh Kumar and Varun Badola. The film also marks the maiden collaboration between filmmaker Mohit Suri and iconic production house Yash Raj Films.
