Actors Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda have unveiled a special 2-disc collector's edition Saiyaara LP to mark the 1st anniversary of their debut film 'Saiyaara', directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Yash Raj Films (YRF). The limited-edition vinyl, released on 18 July, includes exclusive handwritten diary notes from both actors, offering a personal reflection on their journey with the film.

A Souvenir Born from Gratitude

Designed as a keepsake for fans and music lovers alike, the collector's edition LP is a tribute to the audience that embraced 'Saiyaara' — one of the biggest Hindi film hits of 2025. The vinyl format itself signals a deliberate, intimate gesture: a physical object for listeners who forged a deep emotional bond with the music.

The handwritten notes inside the LP are not promotional copy — they read as genuine personal letters, drawing a direct line between the actors and the fans who made the film's cultural footprint possible.

What Ahaan Panday Wrote

In his note, Ahaan Panday addressed fans with quiet sincerity. 'If you're one of the few people reading this, you're probably somebody who cares deeply about our film, and for that, thank you. Thank you for giving love a chance. Thank you for believing in our story. We never knew Saiyaara would reach so many people, but it's safe to say we've left our hearts with quite a few of you. I hope you keep this vinyl as a reminder that love will always be the strongest force to exist, that it has the power to surpass all things,' he wrote.

Panday also reflected on how the music of 'Saiyaara' grew beyond what the team had imagined, expressing hope that listeners would stop finding the characters in the songs and instead begin finding pieces of themselves. 'Your love has turned Saiyaara into more than a film and more than an album, it has become a feeling that belongs to all of us,' he added.

What Aneet Padda Wrote

Aneet Padda struck a more introspective note, describing the experience of watching the music reach audiences across the world as 'overwhelming in the most beautiful way.' 'What began as songs, scenes, emotions and moments we poured ourselves into… somehow found a home in millions of hearts across the world. And that is something for which I will be deeply grateful, forever,' she wrote.

Padda also spoke to the universality of the film's emotional core. 'What moves me the most is knowing that people from completely different parts of the world could relate to the same feelings through this music. Different languages, different lives, different stories… yet somehow everyone felt the same emotions,' she said, adding that the experience reinforced for her why art matters — 'how it can make us feel alive, feel connected and give us hope.'

The Film's Journey and What Comes Next

'Saiyaara', directed by Mohit Suri and backed by YRF, marked the debut of both Panday and Padda and went on to become one of 2025's most-discussed Hindi films. Its soundtrack, in particular, found a sustained audience well beyond the theatrical run — a rarity in a streaming-first era.

The release of the special edition LP on the film's first anniversary suggests YRF is investing in the long-term cultural life of 'Saiyaara' as a catalogue title, rather than letting it fade with the news cycle. Whether a wider vinyl release or further anniversary editions follow remains to be seen.
