T-series issues clarification on Kartik Aaryan’s Aashiqui 3

T-series issued a clarification about Kartik Aaryan’s Aashiqui 3 on Wednesday. In an official statement, the production house said that they are not involved in the production of the film. It was earlier announced that Aashiqui 3 would be directed by Anurag Basu with Kartik Aaryan playing the lead and the project was backed by T-series.

Their statement read, “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.”

They added, “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.”

The original Aashiqui (1990) starred Rahul Roy and Anu Aggarwal in the lead and was directed by Mahesh Bhatt. The sequel, Aashiqui 2 (2013) starred Aditya Roy Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor and was helmed by Mohit Suri.

Kartik was last seen in Satyaprem Ki Katha (2023). He will be seen next in the sports drama, Chandu Champion which is directed by Kabir Khan.
