Director Sanjay Gupta advised Saiyaara stars Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda against hasty career decisions following their debut film's success. The Kaante filmmaker encouraged both actors to establish new industry standards by carefully selecting future projects rather than accepting immediate offers. Gupta praised Yash Raj Films for their unconventional marketing strategy that kept the lead pair away from promotional interviews and appearances. He credited this approach with preserving the actors' screen freshness and contributing to the film's positive reception.
The filmmaker criticized corporate influence on Bollywood promotion practices through social media posts. Gupta argued that excessive publicity campaigns primarily benefit advertising agencies rather than producers or audiences. Actor Varun Dhawan joined other celebrities in praising Mohit Suri's directorial work and the performances of both newcomers. Dhawan expressed admiration for the film's lasting impact and the authentic portrayals delivered by Pandey and Padda. Saiyaara premiered in theaters on July 18 and received favorable critical responses from reviewers and industry professionals.
