Interestingly, Saiyaara is helmed by Mohit Suri—another filmmaker known for his deep grasp on modern, emotionally charged romances.

With Saiyaara, he seems to be continuing that legacy.

All eyes are now on how this fresh pairing unfolds under Suri’s emotional lens.Saiyaara is slated to hit the screens on July 18, in a clash with Sonakshi Sinha's Nikita Roy and Anupam Kher's Tanvi: The Great.
