First look at Aashiqui 2

The first look of Aashiqui 2 and the music album for the movie will be launched on Monday at Sudeep Studios, a place where the music for the original Aashiqui was recorded about 23 years ago.

Released in 1990, the Rahul Roy and Anu Agarwal-starrer Aashiqui was co-produced by the late Gulshan Kumar and Mahesh Bhatt, who had also directed the film.

“We were contemplating many ideas. We planned to have the first look and the music launch at the Rose Garden, then on a Yacht to make it look romantic. But nothing was convincing,” Bhushan Kumar, co-producer of Aashiqui 2, said.

Kumar says it is a very nostalgic moment for him and Mahesh Bhatt because “Aashiqui” was his father Gulshan Kumar’s “first musical feature film”.

“It’s a very emotional moment for my family. I am looking forward to the launch,” he added.

Aashiqui 2, however, is not a sequel to Aashiqui. The only similarity is that it is also a romantic-musical.

Directed by Mohit Suri, Aashiqui 2 has Aditya Roy Kapoor romancing Shraddha Kapoor. It has music by Jeet Ganguly, Mithoon and Ankit Tiwari.
