There are beautiful aerial shots of snow-capped Himachal at the beginning of the trailer, and then there are shots of a busy Delhi café where our central love story begins.

Ahaan Panday: Bollywood’s New Heartthrob in the Making
Ahan Panday is poised to become another Bollywood heartthrob. His social media accounts filled with styled photoshoots from professionals and being related to the industry (Ahan is the nephew of Chunky Panday and cousin of Ananya Panday), Ahan is now putting himself in the full glare of the spotlight from his first major lead role. In Saiyaara, Ahan departs from the, boy-next-door tropes of a prospective Bollywood casting to delivering a rich performance as he navigates full character that exudes, vulnerability and emotional maturity.
In all his debut efforts, critics alike will note his ability to carry different emotions across the screen – most particularly where Ayaan is forced to confront his past and fight to hang on to love.

Aneet Padda: The Breakout Star We Didn’t Know
We Needed Aneet Padda is not yet a household name, but she is on her way there. With just a few other indie projects and modelling gigs under her belt, Saiyaara is her first movie role and she is phenomenal. Meher’s character is strong, flawed, and complex, and Aneet bring a naturalness and genuine relatability in every frame. Audiences are loving her expressive eyes, familiarity and authenticity in her acting.
Director Samaira Desai: A Future Star of Bollywood
The person behind Saiyaara is female debut director Samaira Desai, and if the trailer is any indication, she is on a fast track to notoriety. Samaira is known for her short film Moonlit Hearts which made waves on the festival circuit. This experience has led her to combine indie sensibilities with commercial narrative forces.
When it will release and at what box office?
