Bobby Deol On Saiyaara Talking about his grand entry in the Hindi film industry, Bobby added, “Ahaan waited for eight years almost for Saiyaara to be released. Even how this film came to him is an amazing story. I was really happy. It felt like my own child’s film had been released, and it became such a big hit. It felt so nice." He also praised the film for its impact. “I cried so much while watching that film; it’s such an emotional story. Mohit Suri (director) has done such a great job. Saiyaara is a director’s film, but he got great actors to play the characters. Both Ahaan and Aneet were so interesting to watch. The way Mohit weaved the screenplay, built the story, the music… everything aligned perfectly, and such things happen very rarely," said the Animal actor. The movie, also starring Aneet Padda, hit the screens on July 18. It is still continuing its dream run at the box office.
