Aditya Roy Kapur and Arjun Kapoor, two of Bollywood’s most gifted actors, were guests of host Karan Johar on the most recent episode of the well-liked chat programme Koffee With Karan Season 8. The two had an open discussion, sharing interesting insights and secrets about their personal and work life.
Kartik Aaryan Gets Aditya Roy Kapur’s Support for “Aashiqui 3”
During the show, Johar asked Kapur about Kartik Aaryan taking the franchise forward with ‘Aashiqui 3’. “I wanted to ask what it feels like when somebody else takes your franchise forward,” said Johar. In response, Kapur expressed that he feels Aaryan is the ‘perfect’ person to star in ‘Aashiqui 3’.
Kapur 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 shared the Koffee couch with Kapur, added, “Then he became the night manager after that,” referring to Kapur’s hit series ‘The Night Manager’.
The Franchise “Aashiqui”
“Aashiqui,” starring Rahul Roy and Anu Aggarwal, debuted in cinemas in July 1990 and marked the start of the “Aashiqui” franchise. Released in April 2013, the follow-up starred Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor. In September 2022, Kartik Aaryan revealed the third installment of the franchise.
“Aashiqui 3” is like a dream come true for me, as Aaryan stated in an interview with Variety about the film. “I grew up watching the timeless classic ‘Aashiqui,'” he added. I am appreciative of the chance to work with Bhushan Kumar and Mukesh Bhatt, but I also feel privileged. Being a huge admirer of Anurag Basu’s work, working with him on this project would undoubtedly influence me in a variety of ways.
