Confirmed: Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra in Aashiqui 3

We saw a few visuals of Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt visiting their managers Matrix in Mumbai the other day. It so turns out that we may see the two sharing screen space after Student of the Year and Kapoor and Sons, after all. Buzz is that the two will star in Aashiqui 3.

Apparently, Sidharth was visiting to see if he could manage dates for a big offer. Alia was also there because she wanted to figure out her dates that can match with Sidharth. Mahesh Bhatt, who has produced the series, wanted a script that would befit real lovers when they come onscreen.

Mahesh, however, won’t be working with Alia any time soon. Mohit Suri will be helming the project. For those who wonder why Mahesh will not be directing Alia, let us tell you that Bhatsaab (as he is known in filmdom) is on a self imposed exile from direction in feature films (his last venture being Zakhm starring Pooja Bhatt and Ajay Devgn).

Interestingly Aashiqui starred Rahul Roy and Anu Aggarwal who ever became a couple and Aashiqui 2 starred Aditya Roy Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor who went on to be a couple and then split.
