Filmmaker Mohit Suri is currently basking in the success of his recent blockbuster, Saiyaara. The director has garnered a lot of praise as his latest film continues to make waves on the internet for all the right reasons. As the film continues to achieve new peaks of success every day, the director has now opened up about the film’s success and revealed what the producers, particularly YRF’s Aditya Chopra, had said about the film even before its release.
During a conversation on The Right Angle with Sonal Kalra, Season 2, Mohit Suri recalled Aditya Chopra’s initial reaction after watching a rough cut of Saiyaara. He shared, “He (Aditya Chopra) was the one who always said, no matter how much it opens with, it’s going to do 100 crores. He saw something in the film that’s very difficult for a director to see while making it every day, and that’s exactly what an experienced producer should do.”
Mohit also mentioned how Aditya Chopra’s faith in the film gave him the confidence that his film would achieve big success at the box office. He further expressed his admiration for Aditya Chopra, revealing he often revisits his work to rediscover the craft of filmmaking.
