Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 14 (ANI): Since the trailer of Mohit Suri Saiyaara has been released, many are comparing it to Aashiqui, and now renowned director and producer Mahesh Bhatt has expressed his happiness over the comparison. He also praised the movie and called it the most definitive romantic film of this generation.
Aashiqui is a 1990 musical romantic drama film directed by Mahesh Bhatt and starring Rahul Roy, Anu Aggarwal and Deepak Tijori in pivotal roles. A sequel to the film, Aashiqui 2, directed by Mohit Suri, starring Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor, was released in 2013.
While talking about the film, Saiyaara, Bhat said in a statement, Every generation has a love story that defines it. Saiyaara, to me, will be the most definitive romantic film of this generation. When I made Aashiqui, I did it with a lot of purity, and I was fortunate that people connected to it deeply and made the two newcomers into overnight stars. I expect Mohit Suri to do the same with Saiyaara.
He added, It is amazing to see that people have the nostalgia of Aashiqui when they are seeing Saiyaara, but I can tell you that Saiyaara will rewrite the rules of what a romantic film should be in today time and for today generation. Every new generation must surpass the earlier generation in everything, and Im excited for Saiyaara to do the same. Mohit is my prodigy, and I couldnt be happier if he surpasses me in every way possible.

Recently, the makers unveiled the trailer of the film, featuring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda.
The trailer shows Ahaan as Krish Kapoor, an aspiring singer, while Aneet Panda is a writer who pens lyrics for Ahaan character.
