After the phenomenal success of Saiyaara, director Mohit Suri and production powerhouse Yash Raj Films (YRF) are all set to join hands once again for another sweeping romantic drama. With Saiyaara becoming one of the biggest love stories in recent Bollywood history, the expectations from this next collaboration are sky-high.
A source close to the development revealed to Pinkvilla, “After the historic success of Saiyaara, Mohit Suri and Yash Raj Films are reuniting for the second time. Mohit was flooded with offers from all across the industry, with producers willing to splurge pay cheques of unheard amounts. However, Mohit and YRF are continuing their creative partnership, capitalising on the success of Saiyaara.” Similar to Saiyaara, the upcoming film, which is yet to be titled, will also be produced by Akshaye Widhani and presented by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films.
The source also informed that the central plot of the film has been finalized, and Mohit, along with his team of writers, will now start to develop it into a screenplay. The source added, “Mohit Suri and YRF are committed to recreating magic on the big screen. It’s another sweeping romantic film that will explore a brand-new world in this genre. Like Saiyaara, Mohit Suri will again make this a musical saga. Mohit & Akshaye are committed to bringing back love stories in conversation among audiences, and Aditya Chopra is also focused on exploring this genre further. This Mohit and YRF combo is one to watch out for.”
The source concluded, “The casting process will begin once the first draft of the film is locked. Aditya Chopra, Mohit Suri and Akshay Widhani have principally agreed on an idea and are now set to embark on the journey of developing the same into a screenplay.”
The Mohit Suri directorial is expected to go on floors in mid-2026, with the casting process slated to begin early next year.
