Movie lovers are in for a phenomenal treat this year asAashiqui 2 – the sequel to the blockbuster 1990’s romantic musical Aashiqui, which made its cast overnight stars and established a cult following – is set for release in December 2012!

Produced by Music Mogul and business icon Bhushan Kumar of T-Series and Mukesh Bhatt of Vishesh Films,Aashiqui 2 will be directed by Mohit Suri with music composed by award winner Jeet Ganguly. The highly anticipated sequel set in modern times, will take shape under the vision of Mahesh Bhatt.

Despite having received a tremendous response from their highly publicized YouTube talent hunt contest, (which extended post its deadline), with many talented entries from all over the world, the creative team at Vishesh Films were unable to find a perfect fit to match the demands of the unique script.

Hence, after much research and deliberation, they have finally chosen the fresh onscreen pairing of Aditya Roy Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor respectively as the main leads of the film! This will be Aditya’s first full-fledged movie as a lead actor after receiving much appreciation for his supporting roles in Guzaarish andAction Replayy.
