Launching a new voice somehow felt a better option to me than working with the ones who are already established in the industry. I wanted to have great music in my film and not necessarily work with great names for that. I’d always kept the choice of the music-makers open. A lot of hard work and creativity was involved in the making of the tracks. We did a lot of work on a lot of tracks and then zeroed in on the ones in the film.
Even before the name of the film was finalised, I’d begun working on the songs with Mithoon. How did you go about choosing the people who would provide music for the second one? Music was the strength of the first film. I had finished working on the story earlier and then got down to working out whether the story was deserving enough to get the title of ‘Aashiqui 2’. Yes… Sequels in themselves are a bigger pressure on the people associated with them. Were you scared about directing a sequel to such a film? The entire country knows what status ‘Aashiqui’ holds in the hearts of people. The music of the film has already set on fire charts everywhere, and what remains to be seen is whether or not the film will be able to re-create the magic that its predecessor had done two decades back.Īnanya Bhattacharya of caught up with director Mohit Suri.
Director Mohit Suri has helmed the project this time around with newcomers Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor. Twenty-three years down the line that dream of Mahesh Bhatt is on its way to be taken forward with ‘Aashiqui 2’. When in 1990 Mahesh Bhatt created the ‘dream’ called ‘Aashiqui’, little did he know that the film would receive the status of a cult upon its release.
