Kartik Aaryan announced Aashiqui 3 in September 2022. The film is also likely to star Sara Ali Khan in the lead.
While Aditya Roy Kapur impressed everyone with his performance in Aashiqui 2, it is no secret that the third part of the franchise will be headlined by Kartik Aaryan. The Night Manager actor graced the recent episode of Koffee With Karan Season 8 when he shared that Kartik is ‘perfect’ for the role. He also explained there is no chance he could have made a comeback in part three of Anurag Basu’s musical.
What Did Aditya Roy Kapur Said About Kartik Aaryan In Aashiqui 3?
“There was no chance I could be in this, because in the second part, my character went for a long swim, from which he is not returning,” Aditya said and then added, “So I feel like it’s great. I died ya. Where will I come back now? My spirit will come back.” When Karan jokingly said, “He’ll haunt Kartik Aaryan,” Aditya replied, “Yeah, he’s hovering over Kartik Aaryan. He’s the villain.”

I feel privileged yet grateful to collaborate 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.”
