And the latest superstar of Hindi film industry Kartik Aaryan continues his signing spree with yet another blockbuster franchise ‘Aashiqui’. The ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ star is now set to lead Mukesh Bhatt’s ‘Aashiqui 3’.
While the speculations for ‘Aashiqui 3’ were doing rounds for quite a time now, there’s finally the official announcement coming straight from Kartik Aaryan himself. In this latest third round of ‘Aashiqui’ Kartik Aaryan will lead with iconic filmmaker Anurag Basu (‘Life In A… Metro’, ‘Gangster’, ‘Kites’, ‘Murder’) set to direct.
‘Aashiqui’ film series is most famous for its romantic, melodious music and songs and that’s what makes the choice of the music composer more important. And this time the makers have laid their trust on Pritam to produce another blockbuster album.
The first instalment of the ‘Aashiqui’ series came out in 1990 and was an all-time blockbuster. More than two decades later came the spiritual sequel ‘Aashiqui 2’ with Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur in lead roles and it was once again a great commercial success.
With Kartik Aaryan on board the makers have struck the iron while it’s hot given his recent success and back to back film announcements. Though there is no dearth of options for the makers, looks like they intend to play safe in the currently uncertain times. And in such a case Kartik Aaryan seems to be the best fit.
Kartik Aaryan took to social media to make ‘Aashiqui 3’ official with a picture with Anurag Basu, Pritam, Mukesh Bhatt and Bhushan Kumar. The film will be produced by Bhushan Kumar and Mukesh Bhatt under their T-Series and Vishesh Films banners.
