**Mohit Suri and Producer Akshaye Widhani on Day 2 of FICCI Frames 2025: Surprise Blockbuster “Saiyaara” and Upcoming Projects**
On the second day of the silver jubilee edition of FICCI Frames 2025, director Mohit Suri and producer Akshaye Widhani spoke about their surprise blockbuster, *Saiyaara*.
In a major revelation, Mohit Suri confirmed that he is currently in talks with Yash Raj Films for another project following *Saiyaara*. He also shared some interesting insights about the film’s journey ahead of its release.
### Mohit Suri on Aditya Chopra’s Confidence in *Saiyaara*
Mohit Suri revealed, “When Adi sir (Aditya Chopra) and Akshaye saw the rough edit, it was really bad and quite loose (laughs). It was 3 hours and 15 minutes long.” This screening happened 2-3 months before the film’s release.
He continued, “I said, ‘Let me cut it down.’ Yet, Adi sir was really confident and said, ‘Even if this film opens to Rs. 4-5 crores, it will still do Rs. 100 crores.’” Mohit explained that this showed how much Aditya Chopra liked the film, even in its rough format. “Something had worked in the film.”
Reflecting on this kind of support, Mohit added, “The last time I got this kind of love was during *Aashiqui 2* (2013). You can never plan this kind of thing. I tried to imitate it in *Hamari Adhuri Kahaani* (2015), but it didn’t come across.”
### Upcoming Collaboration with Yash Raj Films
Mohit Suri confirmed his plans for another film with Yash Raj Films, stating, “To be honest, we are planning to do a film together again.”
He further explained, “When I met them again, I said, ‘This is a newer set of audience that is coming up to me. I have never had 60-year-old aunties telling me, ‘Beta, jeete raho. Bahut acchi picture banayi’ (laughs). I only know the guy who comes up and beats his chest. I have done that in my previous films.”
Sharing advice he received from his seniors, Mohit said, “The only advice I have got from my seniors was that you cannot keep trying to put a formula that worked for the audience before. You can only start afresh.”
