Sandeep Reddy Vanga Backs New Hindi Romance Saiyaara After Nearly Dropping It
From almost shelving to day‑one excitement—Vanga champions Mohit Suri’s heartland love story
Director Mohit Suri admits his Yash Raj Films project, Saiyaar, was on the verge of collapse. He struggled to cast the right leads until Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda brought authenticity to the roles of a struggling singer and a soft‑spoken songwriter. After watching the trailer, Sandeep Reddy Vanga—currently riding the buzz of his own pan‑India film Spirit—took to social media to declare that Saiyaara is a “proper Hindi heartland love story” he’ll be watching on day one.
Why Saiyaara Caught Vanga’s Eye
-
Gritty, Authentic Romance: No over‑the‑top drama—just raw emotion and real‑world stakes.
-
Breakout Leads: Panday and Padda’s chemistry and grounded performances convinced Suri to move forward.
-
YRF Backing: With Yash Raj Films producing, expectations are high for Suri’s tonal blend of tension and heartbreak.
Behind the Support: Vanga’s Own Storm
While championing Saiyaara, Sandeep Reddy Vanga is also navigating turbulence on his own set. Reports suggest Deepika Padukone exited Spirit over scheduling and profit‑share disputes—issues Vanga hasn’t publicly addressed—and is invested in both championing new voices and steering his blockbuster ambitions.
