The excitement surrounding the sequel to the 2013 blockbuster ‘Aashiqui 2’ seems to have taken a backseat as ‘Aashiqui 3’ faces yet another setback. After news broke that actress Tripti Dimri was no longer part of the project, fresh reports now suggest that the much-awaited film starring Kartik Aaryan has been put on hold. However, Kartik is all set to star in a brand-new romantic film with a stunning new lead.

The Journey of ‘Aashiqui 3’

The film was announced nearly two years ago, with celebrated filmmaker Anurag Basu at the helm and Kartik Aaryan as the lead. Initial production discussions between Mukesh Bhatt and Bhushan Kumar hit roadblocks, causing delays. In March 2024, Bhushan Kumar declared that he would single-handedly produce the film, reigniting hopes among fans. However, in November 2024, reports surfaced that Kartik insisted on working under the ‘Aashiqui’ banner, and with Tripti Dimri exiting the project, the film now seems shelved indefinitely.

A New Love Story on the Horizon

While the fate of ‘Aashiqui 3’ remains uncertain, Kartik Aaryan and Anurag Basu have quickly moved on to collaborate on a new project. Produced once again by Bhushan Kumar, this film is set to be an enchanting love story. Speculation is rife that actress Sharvari Wagh will play Kartik’s love interest, though no official confirmation has been made yet.

Shooting to Begin Soon

The untitled film is reportedly gearing up for production, with shooting expected to commence by the end of this month or early February. Fans of Kartik Aaryan can look forward to seeing him bring his signature charm and romance to the screen once again, this time with a fresh new pairing. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting new project.
