One film that has been in the news from the past few months is Anurag Basu’s next with Kartik Aaryan. There were reports that Basu has been roped in to direct Aashiqui 3 which will star Kartik Aaryan and Triptii Dimri in the lead roles. However, soon there were reports that due to Triptii’s image after Animal, the makers have planned to replace her. But, Basu denied those rumours and claimed that due to date issues Triptii is not doing the film. He also stated that media should ask Triptii why she opted out of it.
Meanwhile, there were reports of multiple actresses being approached for the movie, and South star Sreeleela starring it. Finally, today, the makers have released a video announcing the movie officially.
In the announcement video, Kartik is seen singing a recreated version of an Aashiqui (1990) song. While there were strong reports that the film is the third instalment of Aashiqui franchise, Basu in an interview had stated that he doesn’t know what the film will be called.
Even in this announcement video, the makers have not revealed the title of the film. But, it does have an Aashiqui feel because of the song and also because it is a romantic movie.
In this short video itself, the chemistry between Kartik and Sreeleela is quite impressive, and we are surely looking forward to this fresh pairing on the big screens. This movie will mark Sreeleela's Bollywood debut. While she did grab everyone’s attention with Kisik song in Pushpa 2, it will be interesting to see if what response the Hindi audience will give her performance.
The movie, which is produced by Bhushan Kumar under the T-Series banner, is slated to release on Diwali this year. Well, it won’t be getting a solo release as already Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna starrer Thama is slated to hit the big screens on the festival. So, it will be a clash between a romantic musical and a romantic horror-comedy.
