Aneet Padda and Ahaan Panday's film Saiyaara.

Yash Raj Films on Tuesday released the title track of Mohit Suri’s upcoming romantic film Saiyaara, featuring Aneet Padda and Ahaan Panday. Ahaan, who will make his debut as the lead in the film, is actor Ananya Panday’s cousin. The four-minute title song has elements of both romance and sadness, just like the tracks of Aashiqui 2 (2013), Ek Villain (2014), and other Mohit Suri hits.

In the song, Ahaan and Aneet’s characters are seen sharing a lot of romantic moments in a city and on an island. They gaze at the stars and kiss underwater. At one point, Ahan’s character breaks down, screams, and destroys a grand black piano unveiled by Aneet’s character.

The song has been composed by Tanishk Bagchi, Arslan Nizami, and Faheem Abdullah, who has also lent his voice to the track. The lyrics are written by Irshaad Kamil.

“One thing that only a handful close friends know about me is that I love meeting new composers, singers, Collecting melodies and songs much like people who love reading, collect books. So the album of Saiyaara has my songs, thoughts and melodies that I have carefully collected and curated for over five years,” said Mohit Suri in a statement.

“Saiyaara title track will also see us launch Faheem Abdullah and Arslan Nizami, two extremely talented Indian composers and singers (from Kashmir) to Bollywood. The track has been composed by the genius Tanishk Bagchi, who I thank for making me meet Faheem and Arslan,” added the filmmaker.

Aneet Padda, the leading lady of Saiyaara, has previously acted in the Amazon Prime Video India coming-of-age series Big Girls Don’t Cry and the Kajol-starrer film Salaam Venky (2022), helmed by Revathy. Described by YRF as “an intense love story,” the teaser of the film, unveiled last week, gave fans a first glimpse of the raw emotions and electric romance — elements common to Mohit Suri’s filmography.
