Mohit Suri lauded Mahesh Bhatt as a mentor.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Mohit Suri\u2019s latest film, Saiyaara, has become a sensation ever since its release last month. The film starred newcomers Ahaan Panday<\/a> and Aneet Padda, who have also become massive stars due to the film\u2019s success. As Saiyaara continues its box office run, Mohit Suri joined CNN-News18 for a Town Hall where he discussed love, loss and of course, Saiyaara. During his session, he recalled how he called his uncle, Mahesh Bhatt, for advice when he was confused about a certain scene in the film.<\/p>\n

Mohit\u2019s mother, Heena, is Mahesh Bhatt\u2019s sister, making him the filmmaker\u2019s nephew. Mohit has often worked under Mahesh\u2019s guidance, and when he was faced with doubt during the shoot of Saiyaara, he reached out to his uncle and mentor.\u00a0Referring to the scene in Saiyaara where Ahaan Panday\u2019s father gets violent with him, Mohit Suri said, while he was staging the scene with the actors, he felt it had become too dramatic.<\/p>\n

Mohit Suri said, \u201cAt 7 in the morning the next day, I was going to shoot the scene. I sent a missed call to Bhatt saab. He was up at 4 in the morning, and he called me up. I said, \u2018I am feeling a little unsure, they\u2019re very nice people. I think I\u2019m being a little too dramatic.\u2019 He has no idea about my script.”<\/p>\n

\u201cAll I\u2019ve told him is the scene where the son gets violent with his father, he\u2019s an alcoholic. Bhatt saab just cut me off. He said a couple of swear words to me; that\u2019s him. I didn\u2019t realise that my profile picture was of my son\u2019s hand in my hand. He just said that the way you\u2019re holding your son\u2019s hand in a close-up, the kind of emotion you feel towards your son, no matter how, go shoot this scene, it\u2019s never going to have a wrong emotional connect,” Mohit recalled.<\/p>\n

Mohit Suri said that Mahesh Bhatt mentioned, \u201cThe son-father bond is too pure for you. How can the same person who has a DP like this even ask me this question? Go shoot it the way you want.” Mohit Suri listened paid heed to this advice and it turned out to be one of the scenes that Aditya Chopra loved most.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Saiyaara has struck an emotional chord with audiences across the globe. The film\u2019s Indian box office collection has crossed Rs 300 crore, while the global total now stands above Rs 500 crore. Alongside Ahaan and Aneet, the ensemble cast includes Alam Khan, Sid Makkar, Shaan Groverr, Rajesh Kumar, and Varun Badola.<\/p>\n
