What: News about Triptii Dimri’s casting opposite Kartik Aaryan in producer Mukesh Bhatt’s Aashiqui 3 came out yesterday. But when this writer asked Mukesh Bhatt about the casting closure his response was vehement. He said, “Rubbish! This is absolutely false. I have made it very clear that we are not casting until the script and the music are ready. But everyone wants to cash in on my popular Aashiqui franchise. This is unacceptable. I haven’t even met this lady.”
Furthermore: Mukesh Bhatt wants to make it clear once and for all that Aashiqui 3 is not happening until he is happy with the music. “The only name that has been finalized is Kartik Aaryan. Kartik and the music are the stars of Aashiqui 3. The rest will happen after we get the music in place, not before,” added the producer.
We say: Triptii Dimri sure seems to have a very well-oiled Pr machinery. Suddenly, she is seen hogging the spotlight. And, how!
