Mohit Suri has recently delivered a superhit with Saiyaara. But not many know that there was a phase when he was rejected by big names in the industry. During his low phase at the box office, the makers of the Aashiqui franchise decided he would not direct Aashiqui 3.
Back in 2013, Mohit directed Aashiqui 2, which turned into a blockbuster. The film launched Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapoor into stardom, giving their careers a huge boost.
The filmmaker revealed that there was a time when even people close to him lost faith. He felt broken and realised the reality of those who once claimed to be his well-wishers.
Aashiqui 3, now directed by Anurag Basu and starring Kartik Aryan, is facing challenges. Issues around its title have created uncertainty, and the buzz around the first look remains low. Kartik Aryan has also faced trolling from netizens.
Fans believe it may have been a blessing for Mohit not to be part of this project. His recent success with Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda further strengthens his position as a talented filmmaker.
