Bollywood’s romance with young love stories finds a fresh heartbeat in Saiyaara, and none other than Salman Khan is cheering it on. The superstar took to Instagram to repost the film’s trailer, wishing debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda luck, saying, “Good luck Ahaan & Aneet. #Saiyaara releasing in theatres on 18th July.” For fans, this nod from Salman isn’t just a casual repost—it’s a stamp of confidence for a film that’s already turning heads.
Helmed by Mohit Suri, the filmmaker behind Aashiqui 2, Ek Villain, and Malang, Saiyaara promises an intense exploration of love and heartbreak, backed by Yash Raj Films and produced by Akshaye Widhani. The project also marks a first-of-its-kind collaboration between Mohit Suri and YRF under the leadership of Aditya Chopra, adding a new layer of excitement for cinema lovers.
The trailer, which dropped recently, has garnered praise for its evocative visuals and the palpable chemistry between Ahaan and Aneet. The storytelling—steeped in Mohit Suri’s signature style—draws viewers into a world where love is fragile, passionate, and deeply personal, aligning with the genre-defining romance YRF is celebrated for.
For Ahaan Panday, who has been training under YRF’s talent division for the past seven years under Aditya Chopra’s mentorship, Saiyaara marks his long-awaited screen debut. His co-star, Aneet Padda, brings a layered vulnerability to the screen with her portrayal of a poet-songwriter, following her performances in Salaam Venky and Big Girls Don’t Cry.
Adding to the film’s allure is its chart-topping soundtrack, already hailed as the year’s best. From Faheem-Arslan’s soulful Saiyaara title track and Jubin Nautiyal’s Barbaad to Vishal Mishra’s Tum Ho Toh, Sachet-Parampara’s Humsafar, and the stirring Dhun by Arijit Singh and Mithoon, the music has taken over playlists across the country, staying true to Mohit Suri’s tradition of crafting films with unforgettable albums.
Set for a worldwide theatrical release on July 18, 2025, Saiyaara arrives at a moment when audiences are yearning for stories that capture the intensity of first love with sincerity and freshness. With Salman Khan’s endorsement, a powerful soundtrack, and the promise of a Mohit Suri romance under YRF, Saiyaara is positioning itself as the season’s most anticipated young love story—one that may well redefine romance for a new generation.
