That’s a massive success, especially considering that the film stars two fresh faces, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. Directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Yash Raj Films, Saiyaara is quickly becoming one of the biggest launches of the year.
The film was made on a budget of Rs 60 crore, which it has already recovered within just three days of release. Naturally, fans are now wondering how much the lead actors and director were paid for the film.

While YRF hasn’t officially revealed the cast’s salaries, reports suggest that the production house usually offers anywhere between Rs 3 to Rs 5 crore to newcomers in their debut films. Going by that standard, both Ahaan and Aneet likely fall within this range. However, buzz in the industry says that Ahaan Panday may have been paid slightly more than Aneet Padda. This isn’t surprising, given Ahaan’s Bollywood lineage and the extra attention around his launch.
As for director Mohit Suri, he is known to charge between Rs 6 to Rs 8 crore per project, depending on the film’s scale and his recent track record. Since Saiyaara is a high-profile YRF production, he probably landed at the higher end of that range.
Even though none of these numbers are officially confirmed, one thing is for sure. With the kind of love and money Saiyaara is receiving, it’s a dream start for everyone involved.
