SCOOP: After Saiyaara, Mohit Suri and Ahaan Panday's next is a twisted love story for Aditya Chopra In 2025, Saiyaara redefined the box office, as the film marked the launch of two superstars - Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. The film went on to become the biggest launch pad of the modern era, and ever since, there has been curiosity to learn more about Ahaan Panday. The young superstar signed his second feature film with YRF and Ali Abbas Zafar, and the film is presently on the floor. And now we have learnt that Ahaan's next after the Ali Abbas Zafar directorial will be a twisted love story with Saiyaara director Mohit Suri. "Mohit Suri was initially looking to make an older guy and younger girl love story. But when the logistics didn't work out, he decided to redesign the project for his leading hero Ahaan Panday. The script organically flew to perfection, and gave Mohit the wings to come up with a rather twisted love story," a trade source shared with Bollywood Hungama on anonymity. The source promises that this isn't a project designed to capitalise on the popularity of Saiyaara. "If YRF wanted to cash in on Saiyaara, they would have made Saiyaara 2. This is a rather twisted love story of jilted lovers, and in a space very different from Saiyaara. Ahaan is excited to reunite with his mentor - Mohit Suri, under the production of Aditya Chopra. "While a portal reported about the collaboration, this article serves as an additional update on the plot and world of the fi... #love_story #Aneet_Padda #Mohit_Suri #Abbas_Zafar #Ali_Abbas #Ahaan_Panday #Ahaan #Panday #twisted_love #Saiyaara
Mohit Suri clarifies he is not working with Ranbir Kapoor yet: “I wish there was” Filmmaker Mohit Suri has addressed ongoing speculation about a potential collaboration with Ranbir Kapoor, clarifying that the actor is not part of his next project. Rumours had been circulating for over a month suggesting that Suri and Kapoor were teaming up for a gangster-themed film backed by Yash Raj Films. The reports had generated considerable interest, given the director’s track record with intense romantic dramas and Kapoor’s recent choice of diverse roles. In a conversation with Variety India, Suri put the speculation to rest, stating, “Ranbir Kapoor is not in my next film. I genuinely want to work with him and I hope he feels the same way about me. I went to meet him to discuss and intend to work together. Meanwhile, it’s been in news that we are already doing a film together. ”He further spoke about his equation with Kapoor, noting that the actor has followed his work closely over the years. Suri shared that Kapoor often speaks about Awaarapan, a film that did not perform well at the box office but has since developed a following. “He’s one of the few actors and such a great star who appreciates a film like Awaarapan even though it flopped when it was released,” Suri said, adding that Kapoor considers it among his best works. Highlighting this, Suri pointed out that most actors tend to reference commercially successful projects, whereas Kapoor’s appreciation for a lesser-known ... #Ranbir_Kapoor #Ranbir #Kapoor #Yash_Raj #Mohit_Suri #Mohit #addressed_ongoing #Filmmaker_Mohit #Suri #potential_collaboration
