Akshay Kumar Praises ‘Saiyaara’ as a Game-Changer: “Newcomers’ Film Succeeding Is a Big Deal”
Mumbai — Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar has publicly lauded the blockbuster success of Saiyaara, calling it the “best thing” to have happened to Hindi cinema in recent times. In a recent conversation with Orbit Standard, Kumar applauded debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda for making a powerful entry into the film industry and creating waves at the box office.
“A Great Sign for the Industry,” Says Akshay
Reflecting on the impact Saiyaara has made, Akshay shared,
“It’s the best thing that has happened. For our Hindi film industry, it’s a really positive sign that a film led by newcomers— a new boy and girl—has done so well. I truly welcome them, and I’m very happy. I’m speaking from the heart.”
The actor emphasized how encouraging it is to see fresh talent thriving in an industry that often hinges on star power.
“It’s a good sign. A newcomer’s film achieving this kind of success is a very big deal. They’ve done a good job,” he said.
Kumar Yet to Watch the Film, but Already Impressed
Though Akshay Kumar hasn’t yet seen Saiyaara himself, he mentioned that one of his cousins watched it and highly recommended it.
“They told me both the boy and the girl are amazing. Director Mohit Suri has done an excellent job. And his choice of songs? Outstanding. We all know he’s a master at that,” Akshay added.
About Saiyaara
The romantic drama follows the story of Krish Kapoor, an aspiring singer, and Vaani Batra, a passionate journalist. As their love blossoms, they face emotional hurdles and societal challenges that test their dreams and commitment. The film, elevated by a soul-stirring soundtrack, has struck a chord with audiences and critics alike.
Saiyaara has now crossed the ₹150 crore mark at the domestic box office, having earlier smashed the ₹100 crore milestone in record time—a remarkable feat for a film led by first-time actors.
Akshay’s Own Journey Continues
Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar was last seen in Housefull 5, which, despite high expectations and a multi-star cast, had a lukewarm box office performance. The actor is now gearing up for Hera Pheri 3, reuniting with Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal in the much-anticipated sequel of the cult comedy series.
With fans eagerly awaiting his next big-screen appearance, Kumar’s endorsement of Saiyaara speaks volumes about the changing tide in Bollywood—where fresh faces and strong storytelling are beginning to take center stage once again.
