On July 17, Ananya welcomed her cousin brother to the movies and shared how she has been obsessed with her sibling since time immemorial.

Saiyaara is helmed by Mohit Suri, who is known for his musical hits like Zeher, Kalyug, Woh Lamhe, the cult-classic Awarapan, and the blockbuster Aashiqui 2.

All the films were made under the banner of Vishesh Films. With Saiyaara, Mohit has moved into the territory of Yash Raj Films.

Earlier, Mohit had called the film an homage to the love stories that he has grown up loving.

Mohit said, “I feel you can tell so many beautiful stories and take people along so many journeys and celebrate so many emotions, but the romantic genre is always special.”

“Saiyaara is my homage to the love stories I love and the sweeping romances that I have come across through my life. I have been fortunate to have met so many people who have been kind enough to share their incredible love stories with me.”

Produced by YRF, Saiyaara is set to release in cinemas on July 18.
