Saiyaara Movie Review

In a recent video shared by Instant Bollywood, Deanne reacted to the success that Saiyaara has got and how Ahaan's character Krish Kapoor left everyone in awe. She said, "I am very happy. He is 27 years old. He is a very hardworking boy. He is humble, sweet and simple. When I saw him on screen, I was shocked. I was like, wow. A lot of love is coming his way. I just feel it is a miracle. It feels really good."


Mohit who is getting a lot of praise for tapping into the talent of these newcomers was all praise for Ahaan in a recent interview. He said during a chat with Komal Nahta, "Sir, maine toh ek dimension hi inmein tap nahi kiya hai. Mujhe yaad hai, 30th day of shooting par, jab 50 per cent shoot ho chuki thi, he suddenly turns to our creative producer and says, ‘Sumanna, maine kya kiya tha audition mein? Aisa toh koi audition diya hi nahi tha maine. Mujhe bola gaya tha, you are the right one. (Sir, I haven’t even tapped one dimension of him yet. I remember on the 30th day of shooting, when half the film was done, he turned to our creative producer and said, ‘Sumanna, what did I even do in the audition? I didn’t give any big performance. I was just told I’m the right one.)"

He added further, "He has a whole different side—the way he dances, he’s a gallery man! He dances for the front benchers. Aapne woh videos dekhe nahi hai jo usne pull down kar diye. TikToker hai yeh ladka. Full chapri hai. He’s a full, out-there, galleried, Gaiety Galaxy boy jo Bandra mein hai. (You haven’t seen the videos he deleted—this guy is a total TikToker! He’s a loud, energetic, over-the-top Gaiety Galaxy boy from Bandra.)"
