Ahaan Panday, Aneet Padda's romantic Wembley reunion marks Saiyaara's first anniversary: ‘Written in the stars’

YRF marks one year of Saiyaara with a collector's edition vinyl featuring songs, score, dialogues and exclusive memorabilia.

One year after creating a phenomenon at the box office, Saiyaara has found a new way to celebrate its journey. Marking the film's first anniversary, Yash Raj Films unveiled a special Collector's Edition Vinyl LP at London's legendary Wembley Stadium. Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, lovingly known as Ahneet among fans, reunited for the launch at the very venue that played a memorable role in the film. Directed by Mohit Suri and produced by YRF CEO Akshaye Widhani, Saiyaara went on to become one of the biggest love stories in Indian cinema, collecting over ₹580 crore worldwide.

Why Wembley was the perfect venue

Wembley Stadium wasn't chosen by chance. It holds one of Saiyaara's most memorable moments, where Krish Kapoor (Ahaan Panday) finally finds Vaani Batra (Aneet Padda) after recognising her eyes on the stadium's giant screen. The film's emotional climax also unfolds at Wembley, where the two reunite during a concert.

Returning to the same venue a year later made the anniversary celebration all the more meaningful. Aneet and Ahaan shared a series of photos on their respective Instagram accounts on Saturday and wrote, “1 Year of Saiyaara. Vaani & Krish at Wembley! I guess it was written in the stars 💫 Thank you for making a place for Saiyaara in your hearts... it means a lot to us… ❤️.”

Mohit Suri on why music became the soul of Saiyaara

Director Mohit Suri said, “Music is the soul of any love story - be it in life or in films. With Saiyaara, I felt that even more. The depth in Krish and Vaani’s relationship, the everlasting feeling, the innocence, and the magic wouldn’t be the same without the songs. I am truly grateful and overwhelmed for the love people have shown the film because of its music.”

He added, “Vaani said ‘The mind forgets but the heart doesn’t, and great music stays in the heart…. forever!’ And it’s amazing that the music has stayed with you long after the film. The feeling is surreal, because the core of Saiyaara was always the fact that a song has the power to take you back to a moment, bring back a memory… bring back love! That's why this LP isn't just a collection of tracks. It’s a chance for people to experience the film all over again—one emotion, one melody, and one memory at a time. We thought very carefully about every single aspect of this record to bring your Saiyaara experience back to life! I really hope you love it.”

Akshaye Widhani on celebrating Saiyaara's journey

Speaking about the launch, YRF CEO Akshaye Widhani added, “Saiyaara was a deeply personal film for us because it marked our return to romance, a genre that has always defined YRF and inspired some of our most sweeping love stories. We wanted to deliver not just a film but also a music album that is timeless in this genre and I have to thank Mohit Suri for delivering this in spades.”

He added, "As we celebrate Saiyaara's first anniversary, we are delighted to mark the occasion with the launch of an exclusive Collector's Edition Vinyl LP, giving fans and music lovers the ultimate Saiyaara listening experience through its music, it’s sounds and its dialogues. We wanted to create something that they could own, revisit and treasure for years to come, a definitive keepsake that preserves the complete emotional journey of Saiyaara.”

What the lead stars have to say

Ahaan Panday writes in the collectible LP, "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."

Aneet Padda says, "To everyone who opened their hearts to Saiyaara and its music, I don’t think there are enough words to truly express what this has felt like. Sometimes, when I sit quietly and think about how deeply this music has reached people, I feel overwhelmed 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. Music has always been such a personal thing. It becomes part of our memories. A melody can remind you of someone you loved, a version of yourself you miss, a heartbreak you survived or even the hope you’re still holding onto. That’s why seeing people connect with Saiyaara the way they have, has been incredibly emotional for me."

Ahaan adds, "The music of Saiyaara became something far greater than we ever imagined because of you. To everyone who sang these songs, played them on loop, or found comfort in them during moments they couldn’t put into words, thank you! Somewhere between these songs, I hope you stop finding our characters and start finding pieces of yourself. Because somewhere between these melodies and lyrics, the story stops being ours and becomes yours. I know that whenever I listen to this, it’ll bring me back to a story of mine that’s etched in time… a story very close to my heart. I hope it does the same for you."

Aneet adds, "I’ve read your messages. I’ve seen your edits, your covers, your late-night captions, felt your tears and your smiles. To everyone who embraced Saiyaara so fiercely, thank you. Thank you for feeling whatever you felt in a world that constantly tells you not to. Thank you for allowing this music to become part of your lives. 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 and reciprocated deeply. That reminds me how universal love, longing, heartbreak, hope and healing really are. Thank you for making Saiyaara more than a soundtrack. Thank you for turning it into an emotion. And most importantly, thank you for reminding me why art matters in the first place… how it can make us feel alive, feel connected and give us hope…"

Ahaan further says, "Thank you for carrying this music with you and allowing it to become a part of your lives. 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. This special edition Saiyaara LP is our gift to you, a small token of gratitude for the immense love you've given all of us. We hope it brings you joy and becomes a cherished addition to your collection, holding a special place in your heart for years to come."

Aneet concludes, "Hope you enjoy this special edition of Saiyaara's LP and we hope it finds a place in your hearts..."

Signing off, Ahaan says, "Some stories don’t end on screen. This is one of those that never will, because it lives on in every memory, every melody, and every heart it has touched. Forever and ever and ever.
