Tara Sutaria confirmed to star opposite Kartik Aaryan in 'Aashiqui 3', recent outing sparks dating rumours

Tara Sutaria has been finalised as the lead opposite Kartik Aaryan in Anurag Basu’s Aashiqui 3. The duo was recently clicked together and fans have speculated a relationship.

However, according to a report by Zoom, there’s no truth to their dating news. A source told the portal, “Nope, they aren’t dating, at least not yet. But it is a fact that Tara has been finalised for Aashiqui 3, but you must underline that she hasn’t yet signed on the dotted line. As far as this meeting goes, it was just one of those social dates where people get to know each other better.” It added, “And what’s wrong if Tara and Kartik gave each other a hug? Or even for that matter, a goodbye kiss? Isn’t all that a norm in Bollywood? That’s as common as salt and pepper with even most boys and girls who are not from the entertainment industry." About the Aashiqui franchise Rahul Roy and Anu Aggarwal starred in the 1990 original Aashiqui, which was produced by T-Series and Vishesh Films. Director Mahesh Bhatt was in charge of the acting. Aashiqui 2, a legitimate box office hit starring Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur and directed by Mohit Suri, brought the franchise back to life in 2013. Variety claims that the third instalment of the franchise will be a spiritual successor to the second. Aashiqui 3 will have music composed by Pritam, who has collaborated successfully with Basu on films like Gangster, Jagga Jasoos, Barfi, and Life in a… Metro. Kartik Aaryan said that being the star of a musical love story like Aashiqui 3 is a “dream come true” experience for him because he was so inspired by the first film as a child. “The timeless classic ‘Aashiqui’ is something I grew up watching and working on ‘Aashiqui 3’ is like a dream come true. I feel privileged yet grateful for collaborating with Bhushan Kumar and Mukesh Bhatt for this opportunity. I’ve been a big fan of Anurag Basu’s work and collaborating with him on this one will definitely shape me in many ways,” the actor stated. “The aim is to carry the legacy ahead in the best possible way. It’d be my first venture with Kartik Aaryan, who is known for his hard work, dedication, grit and determination towards his work and I’m truly looking forward to this one,” filmmaker Anurag Basu added.
