"Aashiqui" - that made Rahul Roy and Anu Agarwal stars overnight is back. Twenty-one years after the film and its music became a box office hit, it is all set for a sequel.
Mahesh Bhatt announced it saying, "21 years later, Bhushan Kumar and Mohit Suri have come together to dream the same dream that we did 21 years ago... "Aashiqui 2" wil dare to rise up to the expectations ignited by this ageless musical and continue the legacy... It will be written by Shagufta Rafique and it is not a REMAKE!"
Getting nostalgic, Mahesh furthermore said, "The best kept secret about "Aashiqui" is that it is also an autobiographical film, as it deals with the story of my very first love." It was in 1991 that Mahesh and Bhushan Kumar had a pact wherein Bhushan had told Mahesh to make a musical love story and promised him that the film will remain in the hearts of every Indian for decades to come.
According to Mahesh, Bhushan had said, 'Let us make a movie that captures all the seasons of the heart in love...the human heart has remained unchanged since the dawn of time.' After 21 years, the magic of "Aashiqui" is all set to win hearts all over again. Will this one be as big as the first one? Only time will tell!
