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 joy, 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* broke several box office records and was widely credited with reviving Bollywood’s golden age of romance. Starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda in the lead roles, the film reportedly earned ₹570 crore worldwide, making it one of the highest-grossing films of the year.
Despite the massive success, Mahesh Bhatt continues to keep Mohit 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.”
Bhatt also addressed the inevitable comparisons between *Saiyaara* and his iconic film *Aashiqui*. He commented, “Every generation has a love story that defines it. While *Aashiqui* was made with purity, *Saiyaara* is today’s defining romantic film.”
With *Saiyaara*, Mohit Suri has not only created a box office phenomenon but also a defining romantic saga for the new generation, earning high praise from one of Bollywood’s most respected filmmakers.
