A section of viewers has accused the film of being lifted from the Korean classic A Moment To Remember.Now, the film\u2019s writer Sankalp Sadanah has addressed the allegations head-on.In a conversation with trade analyst Komal Nahta, Sankalp clarified that Saiyaara is not a copy of any pre-existing work. He said, \u201cHonestly, so much has already been said about this. All I can say is\u2014the Korean film is out there, and so is Saiyaara. Watch both and judge for yourself. You\u2019ll be able to tell whether it\u2019s inspired, a copy, or an original.\u201dThe seed was planted on a rainy day in BandraTracing the genesis of the story, Sankalp revealed that the core idea for Saiyaara emerged during a casual meeting with director Mohit Suri. He recalled how a brief chat in Suri\u2019s Bandra office, amid discussions of another film, became the turning point.\u201cThere was talk of a sequel to a different project\u2014Aashiqui 3, to be precise,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was raining when we came back from a meeting. As I was about to leave, Mohit asked me to stay back and listen to something. He shared an idea and asked me if it was worth building into a film.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018No story, no screenplay\u2014just a feeling\u2019According to the debutant writer, the story of Saiyaara wasn\u2019t born out of structure or plot, it stemmed from emotion.\u201cThat discussion gave birth to the core of Saiyaara. At that time, there was no story, no screenplay\u2014just a feeling. The seed of the film came from a single emotional thought, a line that appears in the film: \u2018A hit song isn\u2019t the one that stays in your head; it\u2019s the one that stays in your heart.\u2019 That was the emotion we built everything else around,\u201d he explained.For those unaware, Saiyaara features Ahaan Panday<\/a> and Aneet Padda<\/a> in the lead roles. The film not only marked a dream debut for the two young stars but also proved to be a goldmine for Yash Raj Films<\/a>, raking in record profits and becoming one of the biggest hits of the year. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mohit Suri\u2019s Saiyaara is basking in box office glory, having grossed over Rs 500 crore globally.
