Aashiqui 3 will only be jointly be produced by T-Series and Vishesh Films

Aashiqui 3 is not being produced under different title

Working on Aashiqui 3 is like a dream come true: Karthik

The production house T-Series has confirmed that the envisioned third instalment of the Aashiqui franchise starring Bollywood actor Karthik Aaryan has been shelved. T-Series wishes to clarify that we are not presently involved in the development or production of Aashiqui 3. “If and when Aashiqui 3 is initiated, T-Series and Vishesh Films/Mukesh Bhatt being joint owners in the franchise, shall produce it jointly only. We categorically deny any ongoing rumours suggesting that Aashiqui 3 is being produced under a different title by T-Series. Our proposed film to be directed by Anurag Basu is neither Aashiqui 3 nor part of the Aashiqui franchise. We sincerely appreciate the ongoing support and enthusiasm of our fans. Our commitment lies in consistently delivering top-notch content, and we eagerly anticipate future ventures with our esteemed partners,” a statement from T-Series mentioned. 

The reasons for this still remain unclear. Karthik Aaryan was excited about the project in 2022. “The timeless classic Aashiqui is something I grew up watching and working on Aashiqui 3 is like a dream come true. I feel privileged yet grateful collaborating with Bhushan Kumar and Mukesh Bhatt for this opportunity. I’ve been a big fan of Anurag Basu’s work and collaborating with him on this one will definitely shape me in many ways,” he had said in an interview with Variety.
