Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara wreaked havoc at the box office last year upon its release. The film launched Aneet Padda and Ahaan Panday. After the film released, rumours were rife that it was copied from a Korean movie. Now, actor-singer Amit Jadhav has alleged that the story of Saiyaara is strikingly similar to his short film idea. Claiming he was earlier contacted by Yash Raj Films Talent in 2022, Amit says the situation left him deeply distressed, even pushing him into depression.

Amit Jadhav alleges Saiyaara is a copy

Amit has been shareing reels of Saiyaara's striking similarities with his short film Khwaabon. Talking to HT City, he shares, “I had tried speaking up last year too. I had actually received a direct message on Instagram from YRF Talent in 2022. They wanted to get in touch with me. I asked them which project they were reaching out to me for, but they didn’t answer. I didn’t know anyone there, neither had I given any audition for them to reach out. A week after Saiyaara’s release, my friends called me and said, ‘Tera toh story same tha.’ I was shocked. I tried reaching out to them, even going to their office, but my friends said they won’t entertain me or reply.”
