Meet the cast of Aashiqui 3

Mohit Suri’s ‘Aashiqui 3’ is in process

Aashiqui 2 was arguably the first big success for director Mohit Suri. Ever since the romantic-drama emerged as a superhit at the box-office, Mohit’s demand has gone on to another level. A sequel to Aashiqui 2 has been in the pipeline for many months now and there were reports that Mohit had walked out of Aashiqui 3 over monetary issues. But producer Mukesh Bhatt has cleared the air by saying that Mohit is very much doing the film. In a report on PTI, he has been quoted as saying, “Absolutely wrong. The reports are baseless. He is very much a part of Aashiqui 3. The work for the film is in process.”

Meanwhile, what do you think of Shah Rukh Khan's son being cast as the hero of Aashiqui 3​? Read more...

On the anniversary of last year's musical blockbuster Aashiqui 2, we are doing a quick recap of what all people associated to the film got and as the franchise has been a launch pad for many people, who all can be the probable stars in Aashiqui 3. As we all know, Aditya Roy Kapoor who had been doing supporting roles, became a hit and now he is filming Fitoor opposite Katrina, quite big a jump! Same was the case with Shraddha Kapoor, Shakti Kapoor's daughter, who badly needed a hit. She was relaunched after this movie. Lets take a look at who all can be the stars to be cast in Aashiqui 3.

The Hero: As it is the deal in film business that some big names launch their kids with another banner from the industry, we think may be Shah Rukh Khan, would push his son Aryan, who is almost growing up to be another SRK. Although Shah Rukh is good friends with Karan Johar, but just to show that Aryan gets work on his own merit and not SRK's stature in Bollywood, they would prefer launching him with the Bhatt camp. Aditya chose the Bhatts to debut as a male lead and not UTV Motion Pictures. And of course, SRK's son should be able to become another epitome of romance and do it like his father does, so we find him apt to be a part of Aashiqui 3.

The Heroine: In Aashiqui 2, it was Shakti Kapoor's daughter who got the chance to emerge as a leading lady. May be the third edition of the movie can launch Sridevi's daughter Jhanvi. We know that even Boney Kapoor can produce a movie to launch his daughter, but the way Alia chose Dharma and not her home production for her debut, Jhanvi can also go for it. Also, the concept of a leading lady in Bollywood is of a very sexy glamorous looking girl, with whom you can fall in love at sight. So Jhanvi can be another apt option for Aashiqui 3.

The Singer and Music Composer: Aashiqui franchise had hit albums for both the films. The careers of singer Kumar Sanu and composers Nadeem-Shravan got a boost after the first Aashiqui and the same happened with the second edition of the movie, which made Arijit Singh a heart throb and composers Ankit Tiwari, Mithoon and Jeet Ganguly became the most sought after musicians in 2013. Although the music composers and singers associated with this franchise have been some real gems of the industry from different parts of the country, we think Shankar Mahadevan's son Siddharth, who is already a hit amongst the youth with his Zinda song from Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, can do a decent job if he comes on board for Aashiqui 3. The best part is that Siddharth composes and sings too.

The Director: After Mahesh Bhatt and Mohit Suri, who have directed the first two movies of Aashiqui, there is no new comer in their family to direct the third part. So, if we look out for a new-comer director-in-making, in Bollywood families, we find Raj Kumar Hirani's son, Vir Hirani. The boy is already trying his hands on direction. The boy is just 15-years old right now and is directing a documentary Return Gift, which will be premiered at the ongoing International Children's Film Festival of India in Hyderabad. So, he can emerge as a promising new talent in the industry with Aashiqui 3. Vir is a teenager but till the time Aashiqui 3 will go on floors, will definitely be older and can be considered as the film's director.
