Ameesha Patel on Saiyaara
Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda starrer Saiyaara is creating new milestones at the box office with every passing day. Within 4 days, the movie has minted over 100 crores and continues to rule the box office. The debutants are receiving rave responses for their performances, and it has led to several comparisons. While the film is being compared to Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai, which was also a hit, Ahaan is being compared to Ranbir Kapoor and Hrithik Roshan. However, Ameesha Patel has an apt response to such comparisons.
A fan on Twitter asked the actress, "Amy ma'am... Missed this #AskAmeesha session. One question from me: Have you watched Saiyaara? There's so much hype going on... I've seen people comparing the new actor with Hrithik Roshan and Ranbir Kapoor. What do you think about this? Any comments?"
The Gadar 2 actor responded, "I haven't seen the film, but I wish them luck. Ahaan, as per reports, is a very promising actor. But baap toh baap hai and beta toh beta hi hoga (A son will always be different from the father). Dugu is a WAR ahead of most stars..." She added, "Ranbir is an ANIMAL of a star... I'm sure it will take newcomers a lot of time to reach that level, and not many can become a Ranbir. Why put pressure? Ahaan will surely grow in time, in his own way, and we wish him all the luck," concluded the actress.
In a video shared by a paparazzi handle ('Bollywood Adda') on Instagram, the actress was heard saying, "All I can say is, when Hrithik and I made our debut, we became the âOG international crushes' overnight. We had become sensations, and there was no comparison back then. And now, after 25 years, if a debut love story is finally being compared to Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai, it shows the kind of benchmark our film has become," Patel said, reflecting on her own career. Talking to her social media, she had wished the debutants luck for the film.
Directed by Mohit Suri, Saiyaara is a heartwarming musical drama showcasing how Krish and Vaani's love is tested by time, and what follows ahead is a series of heartbreaking yet love-filled moments.
