I’m honored and thankful to have the chance to work with Bhushan Kumar and Mukesh Bhatt on this project. 

I’ve always admired Anurag Basu’s work, and working with him on this project will undoubtedly mold me in many ways.

Anurag also discussed the future project, saying, “The goal is to take the legacy forward in the greatest way possible. Aashiqui and Aashiqui 2 were feelings for the fans that have lingered in hearts to this day. 

It would be my first collaboration with Kartik Aaryan, who is renowned for his guts, commitment, and hard work, and I’m really looking forward to this one.”
