Aditya Roy Kapur says Kartik Aaryan is ideal for ‘Aashiqui 3’: 'There was no way I could...'

Actors Aditya Roy Kapur and Arjun Kapoor were the latest guests on ‘Koffee With Karan’ Season 8. The duo impressed everyone as they spilled the beans on their professional and personal lives.
During the show, Aditya talked about Kartik Aaryan headlining 'Aashiqui 3'.

When Karan Johar asked the ‘Aashiqui 2’ actor what it feels like when somebody else takes their franchise forward, Aditya shared that Kartik is ‘perfect’ for the role. He also explained there is no chance he could have made a comeback in part three of Anurag Basu’s musical.

‘There was no chance I could be in this, because in the second part, my character went for a long swim, from which he is not returning,’ Aditya said. He then added, ‘So I feel like it’s great. I died ya. Where will I come back now? My spirit will come bac’.”
When Karan jokingly said, ‘He’ll haunt Kartik Aaryan,’ Aditya replied, ‘Yeah, he’s hovering over Kartik Aaryan. He’s the villain.’
