Ever since its announcement, Saiyaara, produced by Yash Raj Films (YRF) and directed by Mohit Suri, has been hugely anticipated as it brings together YRF and Mohit both known for creating timeless love stories.
On Friday morning, YRF dropped the teaser of Saiyaara, an intense love story that marks the debut of Ahaan Panday in the Hindi film industry and also stars Aneet Padda (who stole hearts with her brilliant performance in the much-acclaimed series Big Girls Don’t Cry) as the female lead. Saiyaara is produced by the company’s CEO Akshaye Widhani.
There has been tremendous curiosity around the title Saiyaara, and the teaser revealed its meaning. Saiyaara means a wandering celestial body, but in poetry, it's often used to describe something (or someone) dazzling, ethereal, or otherworldly—a wandering star—always shining, always guiding, but always out of reach.
YRF, in its 50 year history, is known for giving India some of the cult romantic films of all time primarily directed by Yash Chopra and Aditya Chopra. Mohit Suri, who is currently in his 20th year in cinema, has also directed some of the most favourite romantic films like Aashiqui 2, Malang, Ek Villain etc.
Saiyaara is set to release on July 18, 2025 in theatres worldwide
