Mukesh Bhatt confirms: Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt in Aashiqui 3

It’s official. Alia Bhatt’s first film in her home banner, Vishesh Films, will be the third film in the ‘Aashiqui’ series. Her rumoured boyfriend Sidharth Malhotra has been cast as the male lead.

“Yes, it is true. We have signed Sidharth and Alia for the film. They completely fit the role. When we make films we look for the perfect casting. They both fit the bill” Mukesh Bhatt said.

The two actors replace the much-loved onscreen pairing of Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor in ‘Aashiqui 2’.

‘Aashiqui 3’ will be the third outing of Sidharth and Alia after ‘Student of The Year’ and ‘Kapoor & Sons’.

The first ‘Aashiqui’ film released in 1990 and went on to be a big musical hit at the box office. The sequel was released more than 2 decades later. It was directed by Mohit Suri. The film went on to be a huge blockbuster.

Mohit Suri will once again direct the third film in the love franchise.

‘Aashiqui 3’ is expected to release in 2017.

  • They don’t seem to have that good chemistry that they are doing their 3rd film in such a short span. Producers should have roped in a bigger name like Hrithik for Aashiqui 3.

  • Good luck with Sidharth trying to act in it. Aditya did a fantastic job in 2nd part. I think someone like Sushant would have been better choice.

  • It cann’t match first two movies and sid is also not a good actor. It will be a miracle if it collects the same as A2 i.e 80 cr

  • Just getting bored of paring these couples and alike opposite each other again and again.
    It is good to a niece will do lip lock scenes before her uncle and dad. It is business. It’s fine.

  • Expected better choices for this one anyways eagerly waiting for the songs hope they create the magic of tum hi ho again

  • Don’t really like the pairing. Alia will do a fantastic job. But I don’t think Sid will be able to impress us by his acting.

  • Uday Chopra is one of the most underrated actors of bollywood. He is better than Emraan hashmi in acting and box office.

  • not interested in this pairing
    a cute populer girl with non entertaining actor
    another Ek villain typ success for Sid where he has nothing to do
    Aalia will take all the credits just like Shradha did in Ek villain

  • This couple is a big turn off for me, alia looks like a 12 years old girl and sid no comment (the guy can’t act to save his life).
    I hope at least the songs will be good.

  • Both the Aashiqui movies are remembered today only for their songs not for their performances, direction and content . Aashiqui in 1990 was a musical blockbuster and it made Kumar Sanu, Nadeem – Shravan and Rahul Roy overnight sensations . It is still the biggest success of Nadeem – Shravan in their entire career till date . A2 released in 2013 with low budget and unknown faces Aditya and Shraddha . It became a Blockbuster and the Biggest Hit of 2013 in terms of ROI . Shraddha got immense success after A2 with EV, ABCD 2 and Baaghi . Aditya also got success with YJHD . But then he was part of 2 back to back disasters DEI and Fitoor . Alia will be working with Vishesh Films for the first time after working with Dharma . I am not excited as I did not like A2 very much except for the songs and brilliant chemistry between Aditya and Shraddha . For generate good buzz because of Sequel factor . The success of the movie will depend on the quality of songs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • eagerly waiti for its music !! it will be interesting yot see who will be the music director! Mithoon or Ankit tiwari or jeet !!!!

  • they must have approached hrithik but due to his fees they must have thought of cheap actor. thats why these 2. alia ia free sidarth is cheap.

    hrithik smus not have asked less than 50cr what he charged for MOhenjodaro. and in that fees alone aashiqui 3,4,5 could have been made.

  • Sidharth is the next John , signing sequels Bang Bang 2 and now Aashiqui 3 . Chemistry plays a huge part in a passionate love story like Aashiqui series which isnt good enough in the case of Sidharth-Alia pair .

  • casting is not good !! even though sid has estabished himself over years bt still he finds it too hard to act . It wd hv been better if they hv casted HRITHIK -ALIA perfect jodi for a romantic one .Even onscreen chemistry of alia sid is not good ,they hv been just roped in due to off screen chemistry and alia’s edge over bf

  • I just hate these 2 morons Varun and Sid. Both dont know ABCD of acting just like robot salman. Anyways supper excited for Aditya Chopra ki Aag – Eid 2016.

  • I hate how now every new hero is a muscular man, I wanted someone with a lean body to star in it like Aditya…

  • @abhay malhotra Unfortunately Dholakia ki Aag shifted to Republic Day 2017 ROFL. Only Sultan and Dangal ATBBs of 2016.

  • While making Ashiqui 2 , they have made 1000 songs and out of which few were selected for ashiqui2. So that may be the reason they have started A-3 movie in less than 4 years time from A-2.Anyways A-3 will also be musical hit but its quite difficult to match the music of A-2.
