Speculation around Mohit Suri’s next directorial has been swirling for weeks, especially after the success of Saiyaara. With fans hoping for another reunion between the filmmaker and Aashiqui 2 star Aditya Roy Kapur, the chatter only grew louder — until Suri himself stepped in to shut it down.
Rumours vs reality
Reports recently suggested that Aditya Roy Kapur had been in talks for Mohit Suri’s upcoming film and had even backed out at a later stage. The buzz quickly caught fire, given the duo’s popular collaborations in Aashiqui 2 and Malang. However, Suri has now made it clear that the story was built more on assumption than fact.
In a fresh interview, the director revealed that there have been no professional meetings or discussions with Aditya regarding the project. In fact, he said the script itself is still a work in progress.
‘We only meet on the cricket field’
Addressing the rumours head-on, Suri explained that while Aditya is a close friend, work conversations haven’t happened at all. He added that the script he is currently developing isn’t written with Aditya in mind and that casting decisions will only be announced once everything is locked.
Aditya, too, had earlier brushed off the reports in his own playful way, joking that the only place he meets Mohit these days is on the cricket ground — where, according to him, he’s busy bowling the director out. He also dismissed claims of opting out, calling them completely untrue.
Why expectations were high
The reunion rumours gained momentum largely because of Suri’s recent box office win with Saiyaara, which renewed interest in what the director would do next. Given his track record with intense romantic dramas and music-driven storytelling, fans naturally hoped he might return to familiar collaborators.
A quick look at Mohit Suri’s journey
Mohit Suri made his directorial debut with Zeher in 2005 and went on to deliver several memorable films including Kalyug, Woh Lamhe, Awarapan, Raaz: The Mystery Continues, Murder 2, Aashiqui 2 and Ek Villain. His ability to blend emotion, music, and drama has remained his signature across two decades.
Final words
For now, fans will have to wait. Mohit Suri has made it clear that there’s no Aditya Roy Kapur reunion in the works — at least not yet. Until the script and cast are finalised, the director seems keen to let rumours rest and focus on getting the story right.
