Saiyaara 2025 
Synopsis
Saiyaara
Saiyaara (transl. Wanderer star or Wandering lover) is a 2025 Indian Hindi-language musical romantic drama film directed by Mohit Suri. Produced by Yash Raj Films, it is loosely based on the 2004 South Korean film A Moment to Remember. It stars debutant Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda in the lead roles of a singer-songwriter duo who fall in love. Originally planned as a spiritual sequel to Suri's Aashiqui 2 (2013), creative differences with producers Mukesh Bhatt and Bhushan Kumar led to the project being reworked into a standalone film under Yash Raj Films.
