Karthik Aaryan, Sreeleela next similar to Saiyaara. Ahaan Pandey, Aneet Padda's Saiyaara directed by Mohit Suri created a sensation at the box office. Though rumours spread that the film is the remake of Korean film,A Moment To Remember, directed by John Lee, the film turned out to be a blockbuster.
It is known that Karthik Aaryan and Sreeleela are starring in a romantic entertainer under the direction of Anurag Basu. Now rumours are spreading that the film is similar to Saiyaara. However, sources close to the production house, rubbish all those rumours.
The source revealed “They are two different beasts. Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara is as different from Anurag Basu film as Bimal Roy’s Devdas is from Sanjay Bhansali’s Devdas. The only similarity between the two is the dark, joyless protagonist whom love heals. Countless films have been made on this theme, including a new Malayalam film called DNA. How similar is DNA to Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara? For that matter, isn’t Saiyaara like a cousin to Suri’s Aashiqui 2? Every film on doomed love goes back to Devdas. They all have their own story to tell,”
The source revealed "Anurag Basu had “got busy completing Metro..In Dino and the Kartik-Sreeleela starrer was put on the back burner,” according to the source. “But it doesn’t matter. The Devdas avatar that Kartik Aaryan plays in Anurag Basu’s film is unlike any suffering lover we have seen.”
