*By Isha Sharma | Sep 27, 2025*
Veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt recently praised his nephew, director Mohit Suri, for the tremendous success of his film *Saiyaara*. In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Bhatt expressed his happiness, 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 quickly broke several box office records and has been credited with reviving Bollywood’s golden age of romance.
Despite the massive success, Mahesh Bhatt remains grounded and continues to keep Mohit Suri humble. 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.”
*Saiyaara* stars Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda in the lead roles, captivating audiences with its soulful storytelling and music.
On the topic of comparisons between *Saiyaara* and his iconic film *Aashiqui*, Bhatt reflected, “Every generation has a love story that defines it. While *Aashiqui* was made with purity, *Saiyaara* is today’s defining romantic film.”
The film reportedly earned ₹570 crore worldwide, making it one of the highest-grossing films of the year and solidifying its place in Bollywood history.
