Alia and Sidharth’s sizzling chemistry has been immensely loved by fans. Hence, the Bhatt camp is planning to bank upon the Jodi for their next venture, i.e. Aashiqui 3. Sidharth Malhotra opens up about aashiqui, reel and real; actor plans to learn how to sing and play the guitar for the musical. On March 16. Mahesh Bhatt who’d directed the original ‘Aashiqui’ and who, along with filmmaker brother, Mukesh Bhatt and Bhushan Kumar, will be producing the third part in the franchise, informed that his daughter Alia and Sidharth Malhotra have been approached to play the lead.
En route Bangkok for an ad shoot, the actor confirmed the news. “Scripting is in progress but it should be up and running next year. ‘Aashiqui 2’ had lots of love, angst and music. I’m looking forward to more,” Sidharth exulted. On being asked about his singing debut, Sidharth said that he is taking singing lessons right now. He is taking training to play a guitar as well. It was Mohit Suri who wanted him to sing a song and hence he is trying to attempt the same. Since Alia is a playback singer, Sidharth will have a tough time matching upto her standards. He says, “I hope so (on her helping him with singing) and if I can match up to her talent, maybe we could sing a duet, that would be a first for an actor and actress who’ve debuted together.”
