The stars Ahaan Panday make his debut and emerging star Aneet Padda (Prime Video's “Big Girls Don't Cry”). Panday plays Krish Kapoor, an up -and -coming musician, whose raw talent and ambitions put him on a collision course with the realities of the modern music industry. When Krish Vaani Batra (Aneeet Padda), a talented and fundamental songwriter, Sparks Fly – is presented both creatively and personally. With the deepening of your partnership, her connection to a romance is also blooming, which is as passionate as complicated.

The film has reached one of the largest opening office appearances that have been taken up by a debutant project in Indian cinema history, and marked the most important ticket sales for a debut film for a debut “Kaho Naa … Pyaar Hai, in which Hrithik Roshan and Ameesha Patel and” Refugee “were launched.

For Suri, who previously headed successful romantic dramas such as “Aashiqui 2” and “EK Villain”, 'Saiyaara' is his career as the best opening, while the film exceeds the $ 2 million in one day. The film is produced by YRF CEO Akshaye Widhani.
