Mahesh Bhatt dismisses ‘Aashiqui 3’ rumours

There have been many rumours surrounding the possibility of a third instalment of ‘Aashiqui’ (1990) after the success of ‘Aashiqui 2’ (2013).

Now to add to the rumour pot, there are talks of Shashank Khaitan coming on board to direct the film. Reported in Pinkvilla, assumptions were beginning to form following sightings of Khaitan and Alia Bhatt together outside Mahesh Bhatt’s office. The ‘Dear Zindagi’ (2016) actress is said to be the leading lady in ‘Aashiqui 3’, essaying a role of a singer and starring opposite Sidharth Malhotra.

In the quest to get confirmation on Khaitan, Bhatt dismissed all talks, saying it wasn’t true. Asked about the ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’ (2017) star and Malhotra being in the film, Bhatt calmly dismissed it saying, “Rumours, Rumours, Rumours.”

Bhatt even went as far as saying that the duo are far from signing the movie. “I don’t think you can say that they are anyway official close to putting their pen on paper to say yes to that (film). It is an incorrect assumption to say that they are a part of Aashiqui 3,”

However Malhotra had shared earlier that he has been approached, “I am in talks for ‘Aashiqui 3’ with Alia Bhatt, but nothing has been confirmed.”
