Vanga’s Early Praise for Saiyaara

Weeks before the film’s release, Sandeep Reddy Vanga had tweeted in support of Saiyaara, sharing the trailer with a glowing review: “Witnessing a Hindi heartland love story completely emphasizing on romance and drama. Waiting to watch it on the first day. Wishing the debutants all the very best :-) It’s purely Mohit Suri's Magic :-).”

Backed by Yash Raj Films, Saiyaara marks the acting debut of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, the latter known for her work in Big Girls Don’t Cry. Despite a relatively quiet pre-release phase and minimal media buzz, the romantic drama emerged as a surprise hit. It not only resonated with audiences but also broke multiple box office records.
