‘Aashiqui 3’ plans shelved

Mahesh Bhatt has quashed rumours of a third installment of the hit ‘Aashiqui’ franchise.

Bollywood Hungama reported the filmmaker saying that plans for ‘Aashiqui 3’ were not true. Asked about working with daughter Alia Bhatt in the film for the first time, Mahesh said, “Well there’s nothing serious going in that area as since some time it’s been rumored that she is playing lead in Aashiqui 3. We are as of now nowhere close to say that it’s happening. The day it happens I’ll be the first person to proclaim that I’m working with Alia Bhatt but we as of now have no such plans to make a film called Aashiqui because we’re nowhere close to an idea which is called as go idea and only when an idea gets a hurrah from all of us as in idea to invest in we’ll not make a beginning.”

Rumours were rife of Sidharth and Alia coming together for ‘Aashiqui 3’.
