MUMBAI: Even before the film has gone on the floors, Movie Mogul, T-Series and Vishesh Film’s Aashiqui 2, the sequel of the 1990 romantic musical Aashiqui, has been set for release in December this year.

Despite having received a tremendous response from its highly publicised YouTube talent hunt contest that extended post its deadline, the creative team of the Mahesh Bhatt-Mukesh Bhatt enterprises were unable to find a perfect fit to match the demands of the unique script.

Hence, after much deliberation, they have finally chosen the fresh onscreen pairing of Aditya Roy Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor as the main leads of the film

Aashiqui 2 is scheduled to go on the floors shortly.
