Mohit Suri reveals why he felt Ahaan Panday would not fit the lead role in Saiyaara
Mohit’s latest romantic drama movie, Saiyaara, has impressed all cinelovers as well as critics. During a recent interview with India Today, Mohit shared that he was not sure of Ahaan being able to play the lead character in Saiyaara. Mohit was asked by Aditya if he could make a film with Ahaan. Mohit felt that Ahaan was pretty nice and sweet to fit the character that required anger as well as passion in love. Mohit revealed:
“Ahaan was in the Yash Raj system, and was supposed to do a film with them, which didn’t happen. When Adi (Chopra) Sir read my script, he asked if I would consider him. I always wanted to make this film with newcomers, so Adi Sir said, ‘I’ve got just the guy for you.’ When I met Ahaan, he was so nice and sweet that you didn’t feel he was the character at all. I told Adi Sir, and he insisted on trying him out.”
