Mohit Suri and producer Akshaye Widhani, on the second day of the silver jubilee edition of FICCI Frames 2025, spoke about their surprise blockbuster Saiyaara.
BREAKING: Mohit Suri confirms he is in talks with Yash Raj Films for one more film after Saiyaara; also reveals: “Aditya Chopra saw a rough cut of 3.15 hours; predicted it would cross Rs. 100 cr”
Mohit Suri revealed, “When Adi sir (Aditya Chopra) and Akshaye saw the rough cut, it was really bad and quite loose (laughs). It was 3 hours and 15 minutes long. It was 2-3 months before the release. I said, ‘Let me cut it down’. Yet, Adi sir was really confident and said, ‘Even if this film opens at Rs. 4-5 crores, it will still gross Rs. 4-5 crores. 100 crores’. What he meant was that he loved the movie so much, even in its rough format. Something had worked in the film.
He added: “The last time I had this kind of love was during Aashiqui 2 (2013). You can never plan this kind of thing. I tried to imitate Hamari Adhuri Kahaani (2015), this is not visible.
Mohit Suri then confirmed that he was in talks with Yash Raj Films for one more film: “To be honest, we are planning to do a film together again. When I met them again, I said, ‘This is a new audience coming up to me. I have never had 60-year-old aunts say to me: ‘Beta, jeete raho. Bahut acchi picture banayi’ (laughs). I only know the guy who comes up and beats his chest. I have done it in my previous films. The only advice I received from my seniors was, “You can’t keep trying to establish a formula and what worked for the audience. “You can only start from scratch.”
