“Saiyaara Album Is My Tribute to The First Aashiqui Film”- Mohit Suri

Mohit Suri, known for his deep-rooted love for romantic cinema, is all set to bring back the magic of intense love stories with Saiyaara, his first collaboration with Yash Raj Films. With music at the heart of the film, Suri revealed that the album is a personal tribute to the original Aashiqui, a film that sparked his passion for music. “Saiyaara album is my tribute to the best romantic albums that I have loved to watch, and it is my tribute to the first Aashiqui, whose music left me spellbound. I didn’t know what hit me and it made me fall in love with music… that love story is still continuing with every film that I direct,” he shared.

The album has already created a strong buzz, being called the best of the year, with chartbusters like the title track by Faheem-Arslan, Barbaad by Jubin Nautiyal, Tum Ho Toh by Vishal Mishra, Humsafar by Sachet-Parampara, and Dhun by Arijit Singh and Mithoon. Talking about assembling this powerhouse of musical talent, Mohit said, “It is very rare to have the best talent of the country to be a part of a film music album and I’m delighted that Saiyaara has the best musical geniuses of India pouring their hearts out to create a romantic album that hopefully will stand the test of time.”

Excited about his creative partnership with YRF, Mohit expressed confidence in the film’s ability to reignite the romance genre. “People are eager to watch a good romantic film and I’m hoping Saiyaara will entertain audiences thoroughly. Music always plays a big part to pull people to cinemas, and I hope we have done the job,” he added. The film not only marks a fresh chapter in Mohit’s career, celebrating 20 years in the industry, but also brings YRF back to its romantic roots, a legacy carried by Yash Chopra and Aditya Chopra over five decades.
