The highly anticipated romantic film 'Saiyaara,' produced by Yash Raj Films (YRF) and directed by Mohit Suri, has become one of 2025's most talked-about releases since its teaser launch. Known for crafting timeless love stories, the collaboration between YRF and Mohit Suri has already garnered unanimous praise for its intense narrative and the infectious chemistry between its debutant leads.
Today, YRF released the title track, "Saiyaara," and Mohit Suri has revealed that the film's album is a deeply personal collection of "songs, thoughts, and melodies" that he has "carefully collected and curated for over 5 years."
Mohit Suri shared his unique approach to music curation: "One thing that only a handful of close friends know about me is that I love meeting new composers, singers... collecting melodies and songs, much like people who love reading collect books. So, the album of 'Saiyaara' has my songs, thoughts, and melodies that I have carefully collected and curated for over 5 years."
Suri emphasized his desire to deliver a fresh and soulful album for a debutant film. "The album of 'Saiyaara' is very close to my heart. So, every song of this album feels really special. We are starting our marketing campaign by dropping the 'Saiyaara' title track first. There is so much love, longing, and heart in this song that I fell in love with it instantly," he added.
The "Saiyaara" title track also serves as a launchpad for two exciting musical artists from Kashmir. Mohit revealed, "The 'Saiyaara' title track will also see us launch Faheem Abdullah and Arslan Nizami, two extremely talented Indian composers and singers (from Kashmir) to Bollywood. The track has been composed by the genius Tanishk Bagchi, who I thank for making me meet Faheem & Arslan. The beautiful lyrics are written by the maestro Irshad Kamil."
He concluded, "We have a line-up of incredibly talented artists who have worked on the first song of 'Saiyaara.' I hope we are giving everyone a romantic song that they would remember for a long, long time."
'Saiyaara' introduces Ahaan Panday as a hero to the Hindi film industry and also stars Aneet Padda (who impressed with her performance in the acclaimed series Big Girls Don’t Cry) as the female lead. The film is produced by YRF's CEO, Akshaye Widhani, and is set to release worldwide on July 18, 2025.
