Kartik Aaryan’s Aashiqui 3 postponed after Triptii Dimri’s exit: Reports

Kartik Aaryan and Triptii Dimri’s Aashiqui 3 has reportedly been delayed. Meanwhile, director Anurag Basu is said to be working on a brand-new love story starring Kartik in the lead.

Reports of the third installment being postponed surfaced shortly after Triptii Dimri joined the project. According to Mid-Day, the Animal actor, initially thrilled to be part of the film, has now exited the project. Speculations suggest that title-related disputes have caused the delay, with the film being postponed indefinitely.

A report by Zoom stated that Triptii couldn’t fit into the world of Aashiqui due to her bold image in Animal and the makers are now looking to cast a fresh face.

An official confirmation is still awaited.

The filmmakers are looking for someone who embodies the innocence and charm that defines the franchise. On the other hand, Kartik and Anurag Basu are reportedly gearing up for a new romantic saga, set to begin production in January 2025 or early February. Filming is expected to commence in Mumbai, with the casting process for the female lead actor currently underway.

The first part, which released in 1990, featured Rahul Roy and Anu Aggarwal in the lead. The sequel, starring Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor, came out in April 2013. The third part is expected to feature Kartik Aaryan in the lead. After the makers announced the third part, fans have been excitedly anticipating the upcoming romantic drama.
