Alia Bhatt, Sidharth Malhotra's Aashiqui 3 further postponed

Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt are all set to play protagonists in the brooding musical saga that is Aashiqui 3, but it’s going to be a while before things take off for the film. Producer Mukesh Bhatt had earlier announced that the two will indeed be part of the film, since they ‘fit the role’.

Says a source, “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.”

Director Mohit Suri, who last directed Hamari Adhuri Kahani, is penning a contemporary love story for the film. However, like the first two parts, music will play a pivotal role in this installment too. Alia will play a singer and Sid will be seen in an intensely romantic avatar.
