Mohit Suri Prioritizes New Beginnings with Saiyaara Over Aashiqui 3

Director Mohit Suri has finally revealed why he opted to helm Saiyaara instead of the much-awaited Aashiqui 3. In a candid discussion, Suri shared his perspective on the decision, highlighting the pressures and expectations associated with a successful franchise like Aashiqui.

Sequel Pressure Leads to Creative Differences

Suri admitted that the makers of Aashiqui 3 were eager to move forward quickly with the project. However, he felt a strong pull towards a fresh narrative with Saiyaara, a project that offered him more creative freedom and less baggage of commercial expectations.

A Fresh Start: Embracing New Challenges

For Suri, choosing Saiyaara wasn’t about dismissing Aashiqui 3 entirely. Rather, it was about prioritizing a project where he could explore new themes and storytelling techniques without the weight of a pre-existing narrative and the pressure to replicate past success. He expressed his preference for embarking on a new journey with a clean slate, unburdened by sequel pressures.
