Aashiqui 2 is a 2013 Bollywood romantic musical drama film directed by Mohit Suri. Starring Aditya Roy Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead roles, it was produced by Bhushan Kumar and Mukesh Bhatt under the T-Series and Vishesh Films banners. Set in the early 2010s, Aashiqui 2 is a love story centering around the turbulent relationship between musicians Rahul and Arohi, a relationship which is affected by Rahul 's issues with alcohol abuse and temperament. The film is an uncredited remake of American musical film A Star Is Born, which was remade two times earlier in Hollywood itself. Aashiqui 2 is more closer to the 1976 version, although exclusive sequences from all the three versions can also be spotted.

Production of Aashiqui 2 began in 2011, with the principal photography taking place in Cape Town, Goa and Mumbai on a budget of 9 crore (US$1.4 million). The film which premiered on 26 April 2013 received a positive to mixed critical reception and became a major commercial success at the box-office despite featuring newcomers, earning 100 crore (US$15 million) worldwide within the first four weeks.
