The trailer of Saiyaara is finally out, and it has already sent the internet into a frenzy. Directed by Mohit Suri and backed by Yash Raj Films (YRF), the intense romantic drama marks the debut of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda in lead roles. But according to Suri, this project almost never happened with newcomers.The acclaimed director revealed he had once scrapped the idea of making Saiyaara with debutants due to a lack of acting talent. Speaking about the journey, Mohit said, “I wouldn’t have made Saiyaara if I hadn’t found formidable actors like Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. I was honestly thinking about making something else before my path crossed with Yash Raj Films that was looking for a young love story and was grooming Ahaan and Aneet to star in such a film.”He added, “When you make a love story with debutants, they have to be convincing as actors to pull off the emotional layers… I didn’t come across debutants with acting calibre… I had given up on the idea of making this script with debutants.”
