The film was the highest opener ever for a love story with newcomers. Eventually, it ended up making more than Rs 300 crore at the domestic box office. The success of the film came out of nowhere and completely disrupted the industry. Infact, trade experts have stated that many big stars got sleepless nights due to the success of this film with newcomers and that&#8217;s how insecure the industry is actually. While Taran Adarsh claimed that certain industry members were having \u201csleepless nights\u201d over the film\u2019s success. Komal Nahta added that a prominent male star was \u201cvisibly nervous\u201d after learning that the numbers were genuine and \u201cnot fudged in any way.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"lOvcW vdo_embedd\">\n<div class=\"k7lcu\">\n<p>EXCLUSIVE: Mohit Suri Spills On 20 Years In Bollywood &#8211; Ahaan &amp; Aneet, Alia Bhatt Dream Collab &amp; More<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>Now Mohit Suri was asked about this and he addressed the reactions on the film. The &#8216;<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/aashiqui-2\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\">Aashiqui 2<\/a>&#8216; director said, &#8220;The plan wasn\u2019t to disrupt the industry. The idea was to disrupt my own life. I\u2019d made a sequel film before this, and I didn\u2019t make a good film. Suddenly, everyone was ruling me out. You have to understand, if you\u2019ve been in the industry for 17 years, and you make a sequel film with stars and it doesn\u2019t do well, people want to rule you out. I\u2019ve never been there. I was always the young guy on set. A lot of actors who are getting sleepless nights probably ruled me out.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>He continued, \u201cThe disruption was my own life. I did it my way. Everyone can clearly see that it looks like my kind of film. If other people have got disrupted of it, so be it.\u201d Mohit revealed that after Ek Villain Returns underperformed, some films were taken away from him. While he didn\u2019t directly name Aashiqui 3, he has previously acknowledged that Saiyaara\u2019s script began as that project. His goal, he said, was to avoid getting trapped in making \u201cpackages\u201d and instead \u201cgo organic.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/><\/p>\n<div data-type=\"in_view\" class=\"  \">\n<div class=\"EEW3_ timeline_pollWrapper_as \" data-scrollga=\"scroll#poll_view\">\n<div>\n<p>Poll<\/p>\n<p>Do you think &#8216;Saiyaara&#8217; has changed the landscape for newcomers in Bollywood?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>Komal Nahta, also speaking with Faridoon, shared just how widespread the disbelief was. \u201cI didn\u2019t take the actor\u2019s name so as not to embarrass them. But whatever I wrote, that he is spending sleepless nights, that he is constantly on calls asking if the numbers are accurate, every word of that article is genuine, I swear. The only detail that I have misrepresented is the number of films that person has done, but only to save them from embarrassment.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>He had also revealed how he met an actor at a party who asked if &#8216;Saiyaara&#8217; has actually done well. When Nahta said that the film is a blockbuster, the actor just got up and left. The trade expert revealed that people talk to him for more time if he criticises a film but just end the call if he&#8217;s praising a movie. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"cdatainfo modify_cdata_list_style id-r-component \" data-pos=\"34\">&#8220;Get the latest news updates on Times of India, including reviews of the movie <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/entertainment\/tamil\/movies\/news\/coolie-movie-review-release-live-update-rajinikanth-nagarjuna-aamir-khan-shruti-haasan-coolie-review-and-box-office-collection\/liveblog\/123291177.cms\" title=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/entertainment\/tamil\/movies\/news\/coolie-movie-review-release-live-update-rajinikanth-nagarjuna-aamir-khan-shruti-haasan-coolie-review-and-box-office-collection\/liveblog\/123291177.cms\">Coolie <\/a>and <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/entertainment\/hindi\/bollywood\/news\/war-2-movie-review-release-live-update-hrithik-roshan-kiara-advani-tiger-shroff-jr-ntr-war-2-review-and-box-office-collection\/liveblog\/123291132.cms\" title=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/entertainment\/hindi\/bollywood\/news\/war-2-movie-review-release-live-update-hrithik-roshan-kiara-advani-tiger-shroff-jr-ntr-war-2-review-and-box-office-collection\/liveblog\/123291132.cms\">War 2<\/a>.&#8221;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nvar _mfq = window._mfq || [];\n_mfq.push([\"setVariable\", \"toi_titan\", window.location.href]);\n!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      const ifAllowedOnAllPages = allowedSurvicateSections && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('all');\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed || ifAllowedOnAllPages){\n        (function(w) {\n         function setAttributes() {\n            var prime_user_status = window.isPrime ?
