Alia Bhatt on Aashiqui 3:

Alia Bhatt is the most sought after actress of the new generation. She has oomph, style, talent, skills and a really warm personality. Everytime we meet her, we fall deeply in love with her. Hence, we want to see her more and more on screen. She blew our minds in Udta Punjab and now we are pretty sure she will leave us impressed with Badrinath Ki Dulhania. We were also very kicked about Alia doing the third film in the Aashiqui series but we are sorry to say, that might take a long time to come into being. In fact, not much is done on that front either. Alia revealed it herself!

While speaking to a group of journalists today, Alia spoke about Aashiqui 3 and informed, "Abhi tak kuch tey nahi hua hai. Wo likh rahe hai abhi. Mohit is busy with Half-Girlfriend and Vishesh Films is busy with Begum Jaan. My sister is also writing that lekin abhi aur kuch aur likh rahi hai." It means the film is in a limbo and that makes us really sad. Alia would have been the most credible addition to the series because apart from being a tremendous actress, she is a good singer. She could easily record her songs and have a bonafide album to her name.

Earlier, first Mohit Suri confirmed the news, by saying, "Since it is part of the Aashiqui franchise, Alia is playing a singer." Later, Sidharth Malhotra admitted that he was approached for the same saying, "I am in talks for Aashiqui 3 with Alia Bhatt, but nothing has been confirmed." And Mukesh Bhatt even confirmed the casting saying, "Yes, it is true. We have signed Sidharth and Alia for the film. They completely fit the role. When we make films we look for the perfect casting. They both fit the bill."
