Though it has been only a few weeks since Sidharth Malhotra confirmed that he is doing Aashiqui 3, reports now suggest that the film may be delayed due to script changes and the actors’ other commitments. A source told Deccan Chronicle “There have been several creative changes in the script, hence the film has been pushed a bit. Earlier, Alia was supposed to start the film post Badrinath Ki Dulhaniya while Sidharth was to do it after Reloaded.”
Aashiqui 2, which released in 2013, starring Aditya Roy Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor was a success and was mainly appreciated for its music, composed by Mithoon. The film also proved to be a break for singer Arijit Singh. The film dealt with the love story of a fallen singer who becomes an alcoholic, and a budding singer whom he trains.
