After the humongous success of Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapoor's Aashiqui 2, the third installment of the film Aashiqui 3 is perhaps one of the most anticipated movies. The movie has been in news for quite some time now. However, no official confirmation has been made as yet which has left space for several speculations. 
 

 

Now, the rumor mills were abuzz with the reports of Karan Johar and Mahesh Bhatt coming together for Aashiqui 3 and also suggested that Badrinath Ki Dulhania's director Shashank Khaitan will be directing the movie. 

When we contacted Mahesh Bhatt to confirm the reports, he dismissed it saying that none of this is true. 

Reports of Shashank directing the movie started doing the rounds when Alia and Shashank were spotted together outside Mahesh Bhatt's office recently. 

When we asked the filmmaker if rumours of Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra finally doing the movie are true, he nonchalantly replied saying, "Rumours, Rumours, Rumours."

Earlier speaking about Aashiqui 3, Sidharth had said, "I am in talks for 'Aashiqui 3' with Alia Bhatt, but nothing has been confirmed."

Alia's sister Shaheen Bhatt is also co-writing the script. If reports are to be believed, Alia will be seen playing the role of a singer in the third franchise.

Earlier, Mahesh Bhatt had gone on record to say that the duo is far from officially signing the movie. "I don't think you can say that they are anyway official close to putting their pen on paper to say yes to that (film). It is an incorrect assumption to say that they are a part of Aashiqui 3," he had said.

Alia and Shashank recently worked together for Badrinath Ki Dulhania. The movie which a sequel to Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania also features Varun Dhawan and crossed the 100-crore mark at the box-office.
