<a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/article/aashiqui-3-kartik-aaryan-pritam-each-song-laced-with-secrecy-23327825" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Baseraa</a>, based on a Marathi novel by Leela Phansalkar and written by Gulzar, told the story of a middle-aged married couple whose lives turn upside down when the husband&rsquo;s first wife returns home from a mental institution after over a decade. A source close to the development reveals, &ldquo;The third instalment has been tentatively titled Tu Aashiqui Hai. The team was looking for a narrative with a powerful love story at the core. In Baseraa, they appear to have found a match. The scripting has begun, and the material will be adapted to the current times.&rdquo; The casting for primary characters is underway. The source adds, &ldquo;Tripti Dimrii is one of the female leads opposite Kartik. The makers are yet to lock the third actor.&rdquo; The director apparently plans to roll the film in the second half of 2024.
Right at the time of going to press, Basu, on &nbsp;his &nbsp;part, &nbsp;for now, however denied the buzz.
