Back in February, Kartik had shared a teaser featuring Sreeleela, though the film’s title was kept under wraps at the time. The teaser introduced Kartik in a rockstar avatar, complete with a guitar in hand, serenading a crowd with the iconic track “Tu Meri Zindagi Hai.” The chemistry between Kartik and Sreeleela is already generating buzz, with glimpses of them riding a bike, spending quiet moments by a cabin in the woods, and relaxing on top of a trailer.
The film is set to light up theatres this Diwali, making it one of the most awaited releases of the year. As fans eagerly await more behind-the-scenes glimpses and the film’s official trailer, “Aashiqui 3” is shaping up to be a mesmerizing blend of romance, music, and drama — the perfect recipe for a Diwali blockbuster.
