Ranbir-Alia's reaction on 'Saiyaara': Mohit Suri reveals what they told him on call after watching the film

Mohit Suri's romantic drama Saiyaara has not just impressed audiences, but also won hearts within Bollywood's inner circle. The film, which hit theatres on July 18, has been riding high on strong word-of-mouth and an impressive box office run. Now, in a recent interaction with NDTV, director Mohit Suri opened up about how actors Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor reacted after watching the film, and their response is only fuelling the film's growing buzz.

According to Mohit, Alia Bhatt made it a point to skip a private screening and experience Saiyaara with a live audience. She was so moved by the film that she personally reached out to debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda after the show, asking for their numbers so she could praise their performances. The admiration didn't stop there; Alia even showed the film to Ranbir Kapoor, who later called Suri to express how touched he was by the film.

"Ranbir told me, 'You still have so many more films to make, but for now, just breathe and enjoy this moment,'" Mohit shared, reflecting on the overwhelming support from the power couple.

Alia also took to Instagram with an emotional post, calling Saiyaara "a moment" and praising the debutants as "two beautiful, magical stars." Her heartfelt message read, "I don't remember the last time I looked at two actors with such awe... You both shine with such individuality and honesty, I could watch you again and again."

For Suri, who is known for films like Aashiqui 2 and Ek Villain, this moment feels deeply rewarding. "It's not just about the collections, though the film is doing really well at the box office, but about the feeling it's left people with," he said.

Produced by YRF, Saiyaara continues to climb with each passing day, powered by soulful music, fresh chemistry, and now, a glowing endorsement from Alia and Ranbir. With the industry and audiences backing it wholeheartedly, Saiyaara isn't just a film, it's quickly becoming the love story of the year.
