There was a tail-piece in Mumbai Mirror which suggested that Alia Bhatt is busy with projects throughout 2018 and has therefore pushed 'Aashiqui 2'on the back-burner. The report reads, "We don't want to be in Alia Bhatt's shoes right now. Having it all does have its flipside. We hear Bhatt is a bit of a quandary regarding her father's production company's newest film, 'Aashiqui 3'. Alia greenlighted it and so has her rumoured beau, Sidharth Malhotra.
