Ever since Kartik Aaryan announced Aashiqui 3 in 2022, fans have been quite excited about the upcoming project. After a long wait and high anticipation, there is finally an update on the film. Director Anurag revealed that shooting will begin in March 2025.
Providing a major update on the upcoming film, Anurag revealed that the film is in its pre-production stage, with shooting scheduled to commence in March.
The film is jointly produced by Vishesh Films and T-Series. The details about the female lead I yet to be made public.
Aashiqui 3 marks the first on-screen collaboration between Anurag and Kartik. The original 1990 film was directed by Mahesh Bhatt. It starred Rahul Roy and Anu Aggarwal in the lead.
In 2013, Mohit Suri revived the love sage Aashiqui 2 which starred Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur.
Earlier in January 2025, there were reports that Triptii Dimri dropped out from the project as the makers felt she was not a good fit for the role. Her bold scenes in Animal were cited as the reason, with claims that these scenes rendered her unsuitable for Aashiqui 3’s traditional portrayal of innocence and purity. However, Anurag Basu told Mid-day, “That’s not true. Triptii knows it too.”
Meanwhile, Anurag is awaiting the release of his next film, Metro In Dino. The anthology film stars Aditya Roy Kapur alongside Sara Ali Khan, Ali Fazal, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Pankaj Tripathi, and Konkona Sen Sharma in lead roles.
