Screenwriter's Unexpected Inspiration Saves Saiyaara's Climax

In a recent interview, Saiyaara screenwriter Sankalp Sadanah opened up about the difficulties he faced in finalizing the film's climax. Despite having the rest of the screenplay locked early on, the ending remained unresolved for a long time.

Sadanah was being assisted by Chetan Naidu during the writing process, and the two even turned to artificial intelligence for help. They jokingly asked ChatGPT how Saiyaara director Mohit Suri might end the film, and the AI surprisingly suggested a tragic ending where both the hero and heroine should die.

While the ChatGPT's recommendation was amusing, Sadanah acknowledged that it wasn't entirely off-base, given Suri's penchant for emotional, high-stakes conclusions. The female lead's condition, which involves early-onset Alzheimer's, also pointed towards a potentially tragic finale.

Ultimately, though, the film's resolution came to Sadanah in an unexpected moment of inspiration. As he was driving from Andheri to Suri's office in Bandra, stuck in Juhu traffic, the perfect ending suddenly came to him. This unexpected flash of creativity allowed Sadanah to craft Saiyaara's emotionally resonant climax, which has since gone on to break box office records.
