Veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt recently praised his nephew, director Mohit Suri, for the phenomenal success of his film *Saiyaara*. Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, Bhatt expressed his pride, saying, “It makes me so happy. Simba’s roar has outdone Mufasa’s. Nobody in our family has ever delivered a hit this huge.”
Released in July, the romantic musical *Saiyaara* shattered several box office records and was widely credited with reviving Bollywood’s golden age of romance. The film stars Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda in lead roles and has reportedly earned ₹570 crore worldwide, making it one of the highest-grossing films of the year.
Despite the massive success, Mahesh Bhatt remains grounded about Mohit Suri’s achievements. He shared, “He’s my sister’s son, and he’s a completely self-made boy. But I keep giving him the feeling of not having arrived. I remind him that we might make a hit or two, but we will most definitely make flops.”
Bhatt also addressed the inevitable comparisons between *Saiyaara* and his iconic film *Aashiqui*. He said, “Every generation has a love story that defines it. While *Aashiqui* was made with purity, *Saiyaara* is today’s defining romantic film.”
With its heartfelt storytelling and musical depth, *Saiyaara* is indeed carving its own legacy in Bollywood, earning both critical and commercial acclaim while marking a milestone for the Bhatt family’s cinematic journey.
