Fans of the romantic genre are extremely fond of the Aashiqui franchise. The original Aashiqui, helmed by Mahesh Bhatt, was released in 1990 and featured Rahul Roy and Anu Aggarwal in titular roles. While the second film in the franchise was released in 2013, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur in the lead roles. Both movies were enormous successes.
Meanwhile, Sara Ali Khan's latest movie Gaslight has begun streaming on Disney Plus Hotstar. The movie, which also stars Vikrant Massey and Chitrangada Singh, has not received any good reviews yet. The actor will next be seen in Anurag Basu's Metro... In Dino, alongside Aditya Roy Kapur. The film also features Anupam Kher, Pankaj Tripathi, and Ali Fazal in pivotal roles.
