Soha Ali Khan recalls getting OUSTED from 'Paheli' after Shah Rukh Khan came on board; was replaced by Rani Mukherji

Mohit Suri waited nearly seven years to get his film Saiyaara, starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, off the ground, facing rejection from many producers who didn’t believe in his vision. Despite the setbacks, he remained committed to making the film the way he wanted — with fresh faces and own style — and didn’t give up. His perseverance paid off when Saiyaara turned out to be a surprise hit. Anurag Kashyap has praised Suri for sticking to his story and standing firm when most would’ve walked away.
