The third film in this popular film franchise is coming after almost a decade of Mohit Suri-directed "Aashiqui 2" in 2013, starring Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead role. The film successfully carried the legacy of the first part "Aashiqui" (1990) and became a huge hit at the box office while Aashiqui 2's soundtrack received acclaim from music critic.

The lead actress of "Aashiqui 3" is yet to be announced. Previously there was buzz that Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt may step in for the third part but the film never went on floors, and eventually, it has been been announced with Kartik who is in top form.
