Producer Mukesh Bhatt said: “Evening of 16th August 1990, a day before Aashiqui’s release, Gulshanji and me were very nervous, the next day records were broken and history was created. Today with Bhushan, Pritam, Anurag and the hearthrob of the nation Kartik, I assure everyone that ‘Aashiqui 3’ will celebrate love like never before.”
Bhushan Kumar added: “The movies whose storyline and music etched our hearts, its time to relive it again! We are ecstatic to announce ‘Aashiqui’ 3 in collaboration with Mukesh Ji, directed by my all time favourite Dada Anurag Basu. The film is sure to have a fresh side to it while retaining the true essence! We couldn’t have found an actor better than Kartik, a true rockstar in all sense after the massive hits he has delivered; he truly fits to a T!”
