Director Mohit Suri and Ahaan Panday relive the success of Saiyaara in Shillong.
Fresh Start in Shillong
When Saiyaara was released in July, no one expected the film to break records.
A box office blockbuster, Saiyaara not only made newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda overnight stars but also left a lasting impact on audiences.
Mohit Suri recalled that he first saw Krish K’s performance at The Evening Club in Shillong.
That’s where his journey began, and now, returning there, he feels his story has come full circle.
The Evening Club’s Special Place
The Evening Club was Ahaan’s first platform, where he captivated everyone with his nervous yet energetic songs.
The signboard at the club’s entrance, “Josh Live Tonight,” has become a historical landmark.
Mohit Suri wrote in his Instagram story, “From Krish K to Ahaan Panday, the journey started here and we made it back.”
Fans surrounded him that evening as a star, emerging from Krish K into his own identity.
This moment shows how a hard-earned start fueled the confidence to reach the pinnacle.
Celebrating Success
Celebrations in Shillong were unique, with actors, directors, and fans heartily embracing Saiyaara’s success.
Uditaa Goswami, remembering Aneet Padda, wrote on Instagram, “@aneetpadda_ you were missed a lot!”
While Deanne Panday added an emotional comment, “All heart always forever & ever.”
A live performance of “Dhun” at a café echoed the success.
Photos and videos went viral, and the journey proved that the real celebration is where it all began.
Next Journey
Saiyaara has given Ahaan Panday a new boost in his career.
Reports suggest that Aditya Chopra has signed him for Ali Abbas Zafar’s next action-romance film.
Zafar, who has helmed hits like Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai, will now take a new project to the floor with Ahaan.
Underexposure will be his greatest strength in this refreshing new role, further fueling audience anticipation for the film, which is slated to release in the first quarter of 2026.
This journey, from Shillong’s beginnings to the celebrations, proves that when passion and belief are combined, no milestone is too high.
This return of Ahaan Panday and Mohit Suri is not just an announcement, but a powerful testament to dreams coming true.
