It was only a day ago that Kartik Aaryan announced on social media about his upcoming film 'Aashiqui 3'.
Ever since the announcement of the movie went viral, the audience started anticipating the leading lady of the forthcoming movie. Rumours started doing the rounds about popular television actress Jennifer Winget being roped in opposite Kartik for the movie.
Talking about the same, director Anurag Basu shared, “Well, I’ve been also hearing about these rumours. However, honestly, we’re currently at a very nascent stage. We’re currently ideating about various other aspects of film-making. Casting will be locked later on."
Talking about 'Aashiqui 3', Kartik had joyously shared, “The timeless classic ‘Aashiqui’ is something I grew up watching and working on ‘Aashiqui 3’ is like a dream come true. I feel privileged yet grateful collaborating with Bhushan Kumar and Mukesh Bhatt for this opportunity. I’ve been a big fan of Anurag Basu’s work and collaborating with him on this one will shape me in many ways.”
The 'Aashiqui' franchise has managed to rule our hearts since the 90s. Rahul Roy and Anu Aggarwal starrer ‘Aashiqui’ was released in 1990 and was helmed by Mahesh Bhatt. The film turned out to be a huge success and its songs are still enjoyed by the fans. In 2013, the franchise was followed up with Mohit Suri helmed ‘Aashiqui 2’ starring Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur.
