Further, in the report, Mohit Suri also clears the air about Aashiqui 3 cast. It was speculated that the Student Of The Year co-actors Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra will play the lead. Talking about the same, Mohit says that who will play the lead in the film is not yet confirmed. Ending the conversation, Mohit said that he is still working on the script of the film. 

It will be interesting to see in the future how Mohit Suri and Ekta Kapoor will execute their vision of making a niche for antihero films. Malang and Ek Villian's success at the box-office is quite evident that the audience would love to watch dark heroes on the silver screen. Reportedly, Malang became the third film (from the 2020 releases as of now) to earn more than ₹50 crores. Whereas, Ek Villian, which released in 2014, begged an estimated amount of ₹149 crores at the box-office.
