Anurag Basu clarifies Kartik Aaryan-Sreeleela's next is not Saiyaara rehash: 'The only similarity in our films is...'
Anurag Basu has denied the rumours and clarified on the comparisons and said that it is not a rehash of Saiyaara read more After the humongous box office success of Ahaan Panday & Aneet Padda starrer Saiyaara, the comparisons have been emerged with Anurag Basu's upcoming romantic musical featuring Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela. With the protagonists of both films being rockstars with the element of impactful, intense love stories, the parallels between the two have been making noise on social media. Now, filmmaker Anurag Basu has denied the rumours and clarified on the comparisons and said that it is not a rehash of _Saiyaara_. 'Mohit (Suri) and I are very close. I'm happy for his film's success. The only similarity in our films is that the male lead is a rockstar, and the story is about his journey," Basu told Mid-Day. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD While there were rumours that just like Saiyaara, the lead female character in Basu's film is suffering from a mental condition, and the makers have rewritten the script and will reshoot some portions, Basu denied it and said, 'In my film, the girl doesn't have dementia or any (other condition). We are not rewriting or re-shooting. I knew beforehand that the girl has Alzheimer's (disease) in Saiyaara. So, why would I write the same [plot point] in mine?" Talking about the delay of the movie, Basu shared, 'We have shot about 40 per cent of the film. In August and September, we plan to shoot another schedule in which Kartik will have a clean-shaven look. He is currently shooting for Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri, in which he has a specific look. The continuity is the problem. He needs to complete that film; after that, by the month-end, we will lock the next schedule.' While the untitled movie backed by T-Series was earlier scheduled to release in Diwali 2025, it is now pushed to 2026.

Is Saiyaara's viral title track copied from One Direction's Night Changes? Tanishk Bagchi spills the truth
Saiyaara title track: The title track of Saiyaara has taken the internet by storm, but it hasn't been without controversy. Many users have highlighted its noticeable resemblance to One Direction's hit song Night Changes, sparking widespread speculation online. As debates grew over whether the song was inspired by or copied from the original, composer Tanishk Bagchi stepped in to address the rumours and set the record straight. Is Saiyaara's viral title track copied from One Direction's Night Changes? If you're a One Direction fan, then you've surely heard Night Changes, one of the band's most popular and record-breaking tracks. This comes amid all the buzz surrounding Saiyaara. As soon as the Saiyaara title track was released, many felt its tune was strikingly similar to One Direction's Night Changes. Some even accused the makers of copying the song and lacking originality. However, now, the singer of Saiyaara's title track Tanishk Bagchi has set the record straight. In a recent interview with India Today, Tanishk Bagchi finally addressed the controversy surrounding Saiyaara and its alleged similarities to One Direction's Night Changes. Breaking his silence, Bagchi stated that no matter what he does, people will always find something negative to say, claiming, 'They don't have anything better to do. They keep on looking for opportunities to put me down.' He went on to explain that Saiyaara is following its own path and resonating with listeners. Regarding the comparisons, Bagchi acknowledged that while the chords may be similar, the melody has a unique identity. 'The A minor scale has just about 3–4 chords, but every melody has a different soul,' he said. Once known primarily for remixing classic songs, Bagchi also pointed out that creating a hit is never easy, even when drawing from familiar elements. He emphasized, 'All said and done, we didn't steal anything. The similarities are fine, it can happen, but it's not like we did it on purpose.' Addressing the plagiarism claims directly, he clarified, 'Idhar se utha ke udhar nahi kiya (We didn't pick something from there and paste it here). We worked on the emotion of the song, and that worked. That's the magic of Saiyaara.' Saiyaara box office collection On Monday (day 11), Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Saiyaara saw its lowest single-day collection yet, earning Rs 9.25 crore, a steep 68.33% drop from Sunday's Rs 30 crore haul. This marked the first time since its release that the film's daily earnings dipped below the Rs 10 crore mark, as per data from industry tracker Sacnilk. Following a record-breaking opening week with a total of Rs 172.75 crore, Saiyaara entered its second week with steady momentum. The film collected Rs 18 crore on its second Friday, followed by a strong weekend performance with Rs 26.5 crore on Saturday and Rs 30 crore on Sunday.
