Why Mohit Suri Refuses To Make Saiyaara 2?

Despite earning 500 crores, why does Mohit Suri not want to make a sequel of Saiyaara?

Doubt over sequel even after 500 crore film

‘Saiyaara’ stormed the box office, creating history with global earnings of 500+ crores. But will there be a sequel after this success?

On this question, director Mohit Suri has said something that can shock the fans!

“It will be Aditya Chopra’s decision”

In an interview, Mohit made it clear that the decision of Saiyaara 2 is completely in the hands of producer Aditya Chopra.

He hinted that Chopra believes that if a film becomes a ‘classic’, it is better to retain its emotional impact, rather than dilute it by making a sequel.

Mohit is experienced in the matter of sequels

Interestingly, Mohit himself has directed many sequels – ‘Murder 2’, ‘Aashiqui 2’, ‘Ek Villain Returns’, ‘Raaz: The Mystery Continues’.

Some of these were very successful, while some received mixed responses.

That means he is well aware of the risk of this gamble.

Unique success of ‘Saiyaara’

There were many reasons behind the success of the film:

• Opportunity to new faces like Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda
• Record of India’s highest grossing romantic film
• Title track making it to the Billboard global charts
• Breaking success even without heavy promotion

Is a sequel really necessary?

Mohit’s statement raises a question: is it necessary to make a sequel to every successful film?

Sometimes it is better to leave a unique story where it is at its peak. Perhaps this will be right with ‘Saiyaara’.

Fresh talent vs star power

The success of ‘Saiyaara’ proved that even with new actors, great success can be achieved if the story and direction are strong.

This film managed to spread its magic despite the controversy of being copied.

Do you want ‘Saiyaara 2’ to be made? Or are the memories of the first film enough?
