    What's the story

    India's biggest musical love ballad is back and how!

    Bollywood's Shehzada, Kartik Aaryan has been roped in to carry forward the illustrious legacy of the iconic Aashiqui franchise.

    He will headline Vishesh Films' and T-Series' Aashiqui 3.

    The film will be directed by Anurag Basu and is set to be a spiritual successor to Aashiqui 2.

    The female lead hasn't been locked yet.

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    The franchise's first film that started a nationwide hysteria, Aashiqui was released in 1990 and starred Rahul Roy and Anu Aggarwal.

    It was followed up by Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor's Aashiqui 2 in 2013.

    Both films charmed audiences due to their gripping storylines and were held together concretely by numerous melodies that have stood the test of time.

    Music

    Musical franchise will now be spearheaded by Pritam

    Pritam has come on board the project as the music composer.

    Notably, he has previously worked with Anurag Basu in Barfi!, Gangster, Jagga Jasoos, Life in a...Metro, and Ludo.

    He had also composed the rhythms for Aaryan's last release Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.

    To recall, Shravan-Nadeem had spearheaded the music department of Aashiqui and Mithun Sharma, Ankit Tiwari, and Jeet Gannguli worked on Aashiqui 2.
