Saiyaara Teaser: Anurag Basu Praises Mohit Suri's Direction, Calls It ‘Outstanding'
Last Updated: Saiyaara teaser earns praise from Anurag Basu. Directed by Mohit Suri, starring Ahaan Panday & Aneet Padda, the YRF romance hits theatres on July 18, 2025. The monsoon season may have just begun, but romance is already in the air—and it's pouring cinematic magic. Yash Raj Films' much-anticipated romantic drama Saiyaara is already turning heads across the industry, with its teaser dropping to an overwhelming wave of praise. Among those quick to shower appreciation is filmmaker Anurag Basu, who lauded director Mohit Suri and praised the teaser's emotional impact, calling it 'outstanding." Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Basu wrote, 'Outstanding teaser!! Mohit Suri never disappoints ❤️"—a powerful endorsement from the Barfi! and Ludo director, known for his own mastery of emotionally resonant storytelling. Mohit never disappoints!! Outstanding Teaser — anurag basu (@basuanurag) May 31, 2025 The teaser for Saiyaara, released on June 7, is less of a preview and more of a sensory experience. Clocking in under two minutes, it delivers a rain-soaked montage of stolen glances, swirling emotions, and soulful background music. Mohit Suri, known for hit romantic dramas like Aashiqui 2, Ek Villain, and Malang, brings his signature emotional weight and visual flair to Saiyaara. True to YRF tradition, the teaser doesn't give away much of the plot but hints at an epic love story wrapped in longing, heartbreak, and quiet intensity. With themes of youthful passion, inner conflict, and bittersweet fate, the teaser has already sparked comparisons to past YRF classics like Fanaa, Veer-Zaara, and Mohabbatein. What truly stands out, though, is the rich, cinematic texture of the visuals—each frame seems built to evoke both nostalgia and newness. While Anurag Basu's endorsement grabbed headlines, he's far from the only one charmed by Saiyaara's teaser. Actors Alia Bhatt, Shraddha Kapoor, and other Bollywood stars have shared the teaser on their social media, calling it 'soulful," 'poetic," and 'the kind of story we've been missing." It's clear that beyond the fan anticipation, Saiyaara is striking a chord within the industry itself. Directed by Mohit Suri and produced by YRF's CEO Akshaye Widhani, Saiyaara is already generating significant curiosity for introducing two fresh faces in leading roles—Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. While Ahaan comes from a prominent film lineage and has spent the last few years cutting his teeth behind the camera on projects like Mardaani 2 and Freaky Ali, this marks his official on-screen debut. His co-star, Aneet Padda, is a rising talent who first made waves in Salaam Venky (2022), directed by Revathy, where she held her own alongside veterans like Kajol. She further solidified her screen presence with her performance in Amazon Prime Video's coming-of-age series Big Girls Don't Cry. Produced under the Yash Raj Films banner and backed by Akshaye Widhani, Saiyaara is all set for a grand worldwide theatrical release on July 18, 2025. In a year when audiences are showing renewed excitement for romantic dramas, especially in theaters, this release couldn't come at a better time. First Published:
