Now, after a 12-year gap, Aashiqui 3 is back in production. This time, Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela will take on the lead roles. The film is being made by the same production companies as before.
Where is Aashiqui 3 Being Shot?
The shooting of Aashiqui 3 is happening in Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim. Many Bollywood films, including Jab We Met, Highway, and Barfi, have also been shot in this beautiful city. After shooting Barfi there, Anurag Basu fell in love with the location and decided to film Aashiqui 3 in Gangtok too.
Sikkim’s government has been promoting tourism by attracting Bollywood to film in the state, making it an exciting destination for filmmakers.
Special Scenes Caught by Drone
In some of the film’s scenes, Kartik Aaryan can be seen performing with a guitar and smoking a cigarette. In one scene, Kartik and Sreeleela perform on stage when someone interrupts them. Kartik then reacts by hitting the person with his guitar. Some of the scenes are being shot using drones, making them even more special and visually appealing.
Who is Sreeleela, the Leading Lady of Aashiqui 3?
Sreeleela, the female lead in Aashiqui 3, has a fascinating background. She was born in the United States and completed her MBBS degree from Hyderabad. She has worked in several South Indian films such as Pelli Sandadi, Kiss, Guntur Karam, Dhamaka, and Bhagwant Kesari.
Sreeleela became famous for her song “Kurchi Madathapetti” from Guntur Karam and is now ready to captivate Bollywood audiences with her beauty and talent. Born on June 14, 2001, she has made a name for herself in the South Indian film industry.
Her first film was the Telugu movie Chitrangada in 2017. She has since worked in big films like Pushpa: The Rule, Skanda, Robinhood, and Extraordinary Man.
Sreeleela’s Big Break in Bollywood
While Sreeleela has gained fame in the South Indian film industry, her role in Aashiqui 3 alongside Kartik Aaryan is expected to give her a big break in Bollywood. Similar to how Shraddha Kapoor became a household name with Aashiqui 2, Sreeleela could create her own identity in the Hindi film industry.
The movie will be an important milestone in Sreeleela’s career, and it remains to be seen if she will be able to establish herself as a popular face in Bollywood. Fans will have to wait for the film’s release to find out if Sreeleela can achieve the same level of recognition that Shraddha Kapoor did with Aashiqui 2.
