Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda Commemorate ‘Saiyaara’ First Anniversary with Limited‑Edition Vinyl Release at Wembley Stadium

Bollywood actors Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda gathered at London’s Wembley Stadium to mark the first anniversary of “Saiyaara,” revealing a special collector’s‑edition vinyl LP of the Yash Raj Films hit—a package designed for fans and audiophiles to experience the film’s full soundtrack.

Directed by Mohit Suri and produced by YRF CEO Akshaye Widhani, “Saiyaara” earned more than INR580 crore (about US$69 million) globally and stands as the highest‑grossing romantic film in Indian cinema history.

Selecting Wembley for the launch echoes the film’s narrative. In a key scene, Krish Kapoor (Ahaan Panday) notices Vaani Batra (Aneet Padda) on the stadium’s massive screen, identifying her solely by her eyes; the movie’s climactic concert also takes place at Wembley.

The collector’s edition comprises two vinyl discs. LP‑1 features the film’s nine soundtrack tracks, while LP‑2 adds 25 extra recordings—16 original score pieces and nine highlighted dialogue excerpts. The set also includes a “Saiyaara” diary with insights from director Mohit Suri, producer Akshaye Widhani, leads Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, and composers Tanishk Bagchi, Faheem Abdullah, Arslan Nizami, Irshad Kamil, The Rish, Vishal Mishra, Raj Shekhar, Sachet‑Parampara, Mithoon and John Stewart Eduri, plus an ink pen inspired by Vaani’s notebook and two bookmarks bearing the likenesses of Krish and Vaani.

Widhani remarked: “‘Saiyaara’ was a deeply personal project for us, marking our return to romance—a genre that has long defined YRF and inspired many of our grandest love stories. We aimed to deliver not only a film but also a timeless music album, and I must thank Mohit Suri for achieving that. As we celebrate the first anniversary of ‘Saiyaara,’ we are thrilled to launch this exclusive collector’s‑edition vinyl LP, offering fans and music lovers the ultimate ‘Saiyaara’ experience through its songs, sounds, and dialogues. Our goal was to create something fans can own, revisit, and cherish for years—a definitive keepsake that preserves the film’s full emotional journey.”

Suri added: “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. 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.”

The “Saiyaara” collector’s‑edition vinyl LP will be made available to purchasers worldwide.
