Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara marks a stirring return to the genre he knows best romantic drama while also serving as a launchpad for two promising newcomers: Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda.

Why Ahaan Panday & Aneet Padda Skipped Saiyaara Promotions

Director Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara is already making waves— not just for its romantic storyline, but also for the intriguing absence of its lead pair, debutantes Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, from all promotional activities. While fans wondered why the fresh faces weren’t seen on press tours or interviews, Suri has now clarified that the move was entirely deliberate — and inspired by a successful strategy from his past.

In a recent interview with Just Too Filmy, Suri revealed that he, along with producer Akshaye Widhani and mentor Aditya Chopra, decided to keep the newcomers away from media glare before release. “Until they have something meaningful to say, interviews become repetitive with fluff questions. We didn’t want that,” Suri said, noting that such content offers little value to audiences.

The director drew parallels with his 2013 hit Aashiqui 2, where a similar tactic was employed with debutants Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur. “During that film, people barely knew them during the shoot. But once the film released and people connected with their characters, they were suddenly mobbed,” he recalled.

Suri believes the audience should fall in love with the characters and performances on screen.
