Short description

Aashiqui 2 follows Rahul Jaykar, a singer whose career and fame have slipped away because of his drinking. His friend Vivek, who also manages him, is among the few people who still believe in his talent. In a bar in Goa, Rahul hears Aarohi, a young woman working there to get by, and is struck by her voice. He promises to turn her into a star and takes her to Mumbai, where her career begins to rise. As the two grow close, his decline and her success pull against each other, and people around them assume he is with her only for her fame and money.

Mohit Suri directed the film, which was released in 2013, placing it second in the chronological list of his directed features after Awarapan and before Half Girlfriend, Ek Villain Returns and Saiyaara. It was produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar and Mahesh Bhatt for T-Series and Vishesh Films. Aditya Roy Kapur plays Rahul and Shraddha Kapoor plays Aarohi, with Shaad Randhawa as Vivek, Mahesh Thakur as Saigal, Salil Acharya as Aryan and Mahesh Bhatt as Rahul's father.

Made on a budget of about 1 million dollars, the film took roughly 16 million dollars worldwide, a strong return on its cost. On TMDB it holds a rating of 6.8 out of 10 from 202 votes.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Madhur Bhandarkar was offered the position of director, but he declined due to other work commitments. Subsequently, Vishal Mahadkar was confirmed as the director of the film. However, he was replaced by Mohit Suri at the last moment.
  • Filming took place in Cape Town (South Africa), Goa, and Mumbai.
  • The scene featuring the performance of “Milne Hai Mujhse Aayi” was filmed in the amphitheater fort in Bandra with a real crowd. People watched the scene with the group with Aditya, unaware that they were being filmed.
  • The scene featuring the performance of “Chahun Main Ya Naa” was filmed in 10 different locations. It is the only song that was filmed continuously from the first to the last day of shooting.
  • During a scene in the film where Aditya speaks to Shraddha through a glass door, the actress seriously injured her leg. Her dress prevented her from wearing knee pads for protection. However, despite the injury, Shraddha completed the scene in one take.
