The performances of Saiyaara are top-notch and this applies not just to lead actors Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, but also to the supporting cast. One such actor who stood out was Alam Khan, who played the role of the protagonist’s kind-hearted and rich friend, KV. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Alam spoke about the film, its success and a lot more.
Congratulations on your role in Saiyaara! What feedback have you received? The feedback has been amazing and consistent. People love the character KV and say everyone needs a friend like KV in their life.
Many wished for a friend like KV to fund their dream projects! Did you get similar feedback? Absolutely. Everyone is looking for someone like KV. I also wish I had a KV in my life (laughs).
You watched Saiyaara at Gaiety, as evident by your post on Instagram. How was that experience? That photo was actually taken by my younger brother. It feels great to see our film screened where we used to watch big stars’ films. It’s a full-circle moment, and watching it on that big screen at Gaiety was truly special.
How did you get this role? I bagged it after 6-7 rounds of auditions. Shanoo ma’am (casting director Shanoo Sharma), Mohit sir (director Mohit Suri) and Sumana ma’am (Creative Executive Producer Sumana Ghosh) trusted me, and I was offered the role.
How are Ahaan and Aneet like off-screen? How was working with them? Both are amazing, intelligent and hardworking actors. Ahaan is an old friend, and we’ve made short films together before. Aneet is young and very talented with a bright future ahead. Everyone is happy with the final results.
How is Mohit Suri as a director? Mohit Suri is incredible. He gives actors the space and time to perform their best. His focus on content and performance greatly contributed to my strong performance in the film.
Working with YRF (Yash Raj Films) is a dream for any actor. Did you experience their reputed care for actors? Yes, working with YRF felt like a fairy tale. The whole experience was very professional and enjoyable, all done Bollywood-style.
You have worked before in films and web shows. How has Saiyaara's response been like in that regard? Has it given you the maximum exposure? Saiyaara is the biggest and most special project of my life. It crossed the Rs. 100 crore mark, which is huge for me and verifies the film’s success and impact.

Have any prominent actors or filmmakers reached out to you about your role? Yes, many people, including Raaj Shandaaliyaa and Arunabh Kumar (owner of TVF), called to appreciate my work. They praised my hard work and told me it’s my time to shine. It motivates me to keep working harder.
What next? Is there a chance of a next season for Kota Factory? I can’t comment on Kota Factory and their new season or Saiyaara 2 yet. Just stay tuned.
You must have seen videos of youngsters going crazy watching Saiyaara. The box office is also historic; no one imagined in their wildest dreams that the film would perform in such a manner. What do you think has worked for the film so well? Everything worked well. Director Mohit Suri’s vision was crucial. Good direction, strong content, and powerful acting came together perfectly. The music also created a unique atmosphere, making the film a comprehensive success.
