Rahul Roy who shot to short-lived stardom with Mahesh Bhatt’s Aashiqui , is very happy to see Kartik Arryan taking over the Franchise.

“Kartik Aryan is a very good actor and the Aashiqui franchise is a wonderful vehicle for any actor to move forward,” says Rahul Roy.

Rahul played the lead in the first Aashiqui film in 1999 which contained a blockbuster music score by Nadeem Shravan. The second film in the Aashiqui franchise came in 2013 and was another musical blockbuster.

Kartik hopes to achieve a hat trick of Aashiqui musical blockbusters with Aashiqui 3 to be directed by Anurag Basu . Pritam has been roped in to do the music. Apparently Pritam has been told to come up with the kind of songs that would have the durability of Aashiqui 1 and 2.

Apparently Kartik would so be singing a couple of songs in Aashiqui 3.
