The teaser for Ahaan Panday's debut film, Saiyaara, has generated considerable buzz, not least because of the reactions from Bollywood celebrities, including a supportive comment from his rumored former girlfriend, Tara Sutaria. Sutaria's encouraging words, "AHAANIE! It's finally happening :) So proud of you. You both are just wonderful in the trailer!!!!", have fueled discussions about their past relationship and added to the anticipation surrounding Panday's entry into the film industry.
Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Yash Raj Films, stars Ahaan Panday alongside Aneet Padda, who is known for her role in the web series Big Girls Don't Cry. The film is slated to release on July 18, 2025. The teaser promises an intense love story, with YRF describing it as a film that "will break your heart and heal it too".
The teaser introduces Ahaan Panday flaunting his physique and features several passionate kisses between him and Aneet Padda. Aneet Padda's voiceover in the teaser explains the meaning of "Saiyaara", adding depth to the narrative. She says, “Mujhe tassali dete jo, woh shabd udhara dhundh raha hai 1 sitara dhundh raha hai, dil saiyaara dhundh raha hai. Saiyaara matlab taaro mei ek tanha taara, kuch jalke jo roshni karde jaag yeh sara. Woh awaara dhund raha hai, dil saiyaara dhundh raha hai". This translates to: "The heart is looking for those comforting words, borrowed from somewhere. It is looking for a star. The lonely heart is searching. Saiyaara means a lonely star among all the stars. That star burns and lights up the whole world. The heart is searching like a wanderer. The lonely heart is searching".
Many have drawn comparisons between Saiyaara and Mohit Suri's earlier films like Aashiqui 2 and Malang, noting a similar vibe in the teaser. Some fans cheekily commented that Aashiqui 3 looks very different from what they imagined. Alia Bhatt and Shraddha Kapoor also praised the teaser on social media. Ananya Panday expressed her excitement and support for her cousin Ahaan, while other celebrities like Bhavana Panday, Rasha Thadani, Disha Patani, Dino Morea, Anil Kapoor, and Alizeh Agnihotri also shared their positive reactions.
Amidst the positive responses, some social media users have commented on Ahaan Panday's connections and past relationships. An old romantic photo of Ahaan Panday and Tara Sutaria from a 2016 magazine cover resurfaced, further fueling the discussion about their alleged past relationship.
Overall, the Saiyaara teaser has successfully generated interest and anticipation for Ahaan Panday's debut film. With its intense love story, passionate scenes, and the backing of a major production house like YRF, Saiyaara is poised to be a significant film in Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's careers.
