One of the videos shows Kartik Aaryan holding a guitar and lip-synching to a revamped version of a classic song “Tu Meri Zindagi Hai” from the original Aashiqui film. Sreeleela also appears with a guitar, suggesting her character may be a part of a musical band in the movie. Director Anurag Basu can be spotted in the background, giving instructions on set.

Another video that has caught fans’ attention shows Kartik’s character in an intense moment where he strikes someone with his guitar during what appears to be an on-stage performance. This dramatic scene has left viewers curious about what might have triggered such a strong reaction from his character.

We have also seen the crew spotted in North Bengal last week. One image went viral showing Kartik riding a motorcycle with Sreeleela sitting behind him. In this photo, Kartik sports a rugged look with overgrown hair and a beard, and his left hand is wrapped in a bandage, hinting at his character’s backstory. Additionally, behind-the-scenes images have captured light-hearted moments with the film crew, relaxing and enjoying their time together during filming.
Sreeleela Replaced Triptii Dimri

Interestingly, while the film is widely believed to be Aashiqui 3, the official title hasn’t been confirmed yet. The project has also seen some casting changes along the way. Initially, Triptii Dimri was set to play the female lead opposite Kartik Aaryan. However, she was later replaced by Sreeleela. When questioned about this change, director Anurag Basu gave a diplomatic response, saying, “She is still my best friend. I like her as an actress. You should ask her what happened.”
Fans of the Aashiqui movie franchise are eagerly waiting for more details about this new romantic drama. The original Aashiqui (1990) and its sequel, Aashiqui 2 (2013), were both commercial successes, known for their memorable music and heartfelt love stories. With talented actors Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela now leading the third chapter under Anurag Basu’s direction, expectations are running high for another touching romantic musical.
