About Saiyaara
Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Yash Raj Films, is loosely inspired by the 2004 Korean classic, A Moment to Remember. The movie marked the acting debut of Ahaan Panday, the cousin of Ananya Panday. It also starred Aneet Padda. The film released on July 18 in theatres, and struck the right chord with the masses due to its heartfelt plot, soothing music, and the lead pair’s chemistry.
