Director Mohit Suri has finally spoken about the possibility of directing Aashiqui 3 and bringing back Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor for the next installment. The filmmaker, known for his romantic dramas, shared his thoughts in a recent interview, revealing the challenges of continuing the iconic franchise.
Mohit Suri On The Pressure Of Making Aashiqui 3
Mohit Suri directed Aashiqui 2 in 2013, which became a massive hit and turned Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor into Bollywood’s favorite on-screen couple. Fans have been eagerly waiting for a third part, but Suri admitted that the pressure is high.
“I would love to make a film with this lead pair, but I have to find a good script. The burden of Aashiqui is heavy on my shoulders. I need a script that is better than the second part. It is difficult,” Suri said in an interview.
He also joked about the producers not hiring him, hinting at possible creative differences. The director emphasized that without a strong script, he wouldn’t take on the project just for the sake of continuing the franchise.
Will Aditya Roy Kapur And Shraddha Kapoor Return?
One of the biggest questions fans have is whether Aditya and Shraddha will reunite for Aashiqui 3. Their chemistry in the second film was widely praised, and many believe their pairing is essential for the next installment.
Suri did not confirm their return but expressed his fondness for working with them. He mentioned that the final decision lies with the producers. The director is currently focused on his upcoming film Saiyaara, which introduces new faces Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda.
The Legacy Of Aashiqui 2
Aashiqui 2 was not just a box office success but also a musical phenomenon. Songs like “Tum Hi Ho” and “Sun Raha Hai Na Tu” became anthems of love and heartbreak. The film’s emotional depth and soulful music set a high benchmark for romantic dramas in Bollywood.
Fans still revisit the movie, and the demand for a third part remains strong. However, Suri’s comments suggest that he won’t rush into making Aashiqui 3 unless the script meets his expectations.
While fans wait for updates on Aashiqui 3, Suri is busy with Saiyaara, set to release on July 18, 2025. The film features fresh talent and a romantic storyline backed by Yash Raj Films. The music, composed by Tanishk Bagchi, Faheem Abdullah, and Arslan Nizami, has already received positive responses.
Suri’s focus on new projects indicates that Aashiqui 3 might take more time. However, his openness to revisiting the franchise keeps hope alive for fans.
Fan Reactions To Mohit Suri’s Statement
Fans of the Aashiqui series had mixed reactions to Suri’s comments. Some expressed disappointment over the delay, while others appreciated his commitment to quality.
“We need Aashiqui 3 with Aditya and Shraddha! No one else can replace them,” wrote one fan on social media.
“If Mohit Suri is not directing, it won’t feel the same. The music, emotions, everything was perfect because of him,” added another.
The love for the franchise remains strong, and fans continue to hope for an official announcement soon.
