Aashiqui 3: Confirmed! Mohit Suri is not quitting the film for money

Dismissing reports that director Mohit Suri has walked out of Aashiqui 3 over money issues, producer Mukesh Bhatt says work on the romantic-drama is in process.

Earlier there were reports that Suri, who helmed films like Aashiqui 2, Woh Lamhe, Murder 2 for the Bhatt camp, was unhappy with his remuneration.

He had reportedly parted ways with them when they did not agree to pay what Suri wanted for Aashiqui 3.

When asked about it, Mukesh told PTI:

Absolutely wrong. The reports are baseless. He is very much a part of Aashiqui 3. The work for the film is in process.

Aashiqui 2, starring Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor, went on to become one of the biggest hits of 2013.

Mohit's next film Ek Villain, produced by Ekta Kapoor, also turned out to be blockbuster.

His last film was Emraan Hashmi-Vidya Balan starrer Hamari Adhuri Kahani, produced by the Bhatts.
