Veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt recently praised his nephew, director Mohit Suri, for the overwhelming success of his film *Saiyaara*. Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, Bhatt expressed his delight:
*”It makes me so happy. Simba’s roar has outdone Mufasa’s. Nobody in our family has ever delivered a hit this huge.”*
The romantic musical, released in July, shattered several box office records and has been credited with reviving Bollywood’s golden age of romance.
### Family Dynamics: Keeping Success Grounded
Despite the massive success, Bhatt remains humble and continues to keep Suri grounded. 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.”*
The film stars Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda in lead roles, who have been widely praised for their performances.
### Film Legacy: ‘Saiyaara’ and ‘Aashiqui’
Bhatt also addressed the comparisons between *Saiyaara* and his iconic film *Aashiqui*. He believes every generation has a defining love story. He explained,
*”While *Aashiqui* was made with purity, *Saiyaara* is today’s defining romantic film.”*
With a reported worldwide earning of ₹570 crore, *Saiyaara* stands as one of the highest-grossing films of the year, solidifying its place in Bollywood history.
