Aditya promptly replied, “There was no chance I could be in this, because in the second part, my character went for a long swim, from which he is not returning.” Arjun Kapoor, who graced the Koffee couch with Aditya, added, “Then he became the night manager after that,” referring to Aditya’s hit series The Night Manager.
Adding to this conversation, Aditya further said, “So I feel like it’s great. I died ya. Where will I come back now? My spirit will come back.” Karan Johar joked, “He’ll haunt Kartik Aaryan,” to which Aditya replied, “Yeah, he’s hovering over Kartik Aaryan. He’s the villain.” KJo added to the banter and said that he feels ‘it’s a good story’.
Aashiqui franchise
Aashiqui starred Rahul Roy and Anu Aggarwal in the lead and hit theatres in July 1990. The sequel of the movie was headlined by Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor. It was released in April 2013. Kartik Aaryan announced the third part of the franchise in September 2022.
Talking to Variety about Aashiqui 3, Kartik had said, “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 to collaborate 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.”
