Aashiqui 2
T-Series & Vishesh Films join hands yet again to take their successful musical franchise - 'Aashiqui' forward. While the musicial drama that released over 2 decades ago starred Rahul Roy and Anu Agarwal in career changing roles, the latest instalment, `Aashiqui 2', helmed by Mohit Suri stars Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapoor in the lead.
Clarifying that the film is not a sequel of the 90's cult musical hit, producer Mahesh Bhatt had once stated, "The franchise continues... the film is a completely brand new product with an extraordinary story. We will take the brand, not the story forward with an out-and-out love story."
While director Mohit Suri added, "It's a new story. The only similarity is the music and the love story. There are seven to eight songs in the film. It's a musical."
The music is by Jeet Ganguly and Pakistani crooner Mustafa Zahid along with melodious beauty Tulsi Kumar has rendered their voice for the film's tracks, which have already topped the chartbusters.
Talking about what you can expect from the film said producer Mukesh Bhatt "It's a contemporary love story dealing with mature emotions. All three actors have extremely challenging dramatic roles. It's not a film about only looking good, singing and dancing. These are performance-oriented parts, and we're convinced that Aashiqui 2 would do for Shraddha, Aditya and Shaad what the first Aashiqui did for Rahul, Anu and Deepak Taijori."
Penned by the talented Shagufta Rafique,`Aashiqui 2' tells the story of Rahul Jaykar (Aditya Roy Kapur) who is a singing sensation and falls in love with a simple looking girl Arohi Shirke (Shraddha Kapoor) who is also a good singer. Rahul intends to make Arohi a singing star, Their love and ego is questioned when Arohi becomes a bigger name in Music-Industry.
T-Series & Vishesh Films' musical drama `Aashiqui 2' is scheduled to release 26th April 2013.
