Mumbai, Aug 7 (NationPress) Filmmaker Neeraj Pandey shared insights on the extraordinary success of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda in the film "Saiyaara", which has sparked a notable demand for fresh talent within the Hindi film industry.

In an exclusive conversation with IANS, the director was prompted about the growing belief that newcomers have been facing challenges in achieving significant hits. Nevertheless, the surprising triumph of Saiyaara has shattered that perspective, showcasing that emerging actors can indeed leave a profound mark.

Responding to this viewpoint, Neeraj remarked that those who hold such opinions lack understanding of the film business. He emphasized that this industry is incredibly unpredictable and does not follow a specific trend.

"With the current trend of following popular choices, many will begin seeking out romantic narratives and new talents. However, by the time they realize the financial loss from this chase, the industry will have shifted to another trend," he explained.

He also noted that after the success of "Stree", there was a rush towards horror comedies, and now with Saiyaara's success, the focus will shift to love stories.

However, Neeraj asserted that success does not adhere strictly to trends. "A compelling narrative will resonate at any moment, and a well-crafted film generally finds its audience," he concluded.

Moreover, Neeraj discussed the hurdles faced while filming his latest project, “Special Ops 2”. He shared that the varied locations, while enriching the visual experience, turned the production into a logistical challenge requiring extensive planning and coordination.

He mentioned that this movement was integral to the storyline from the outset. "If you follow the narrative closely, you'll realize that Dr. Bhargav, who is kidnapped, is moved from various locations. Thus, this aspect was naturally embedded in the script. Nevertheless, shooting across so many sites proved to be a logistical nightmare," Neeraj revealed.
