Rashmika and Kartik have recently shot a commercial for a chocolate brand and the onlookers have revealed that their pairing looks absolutely cute. It will be interesting to see if their pairing makes it to the final casting of Aashiqui 3.

Meanwhile it's interesting to note that Deepika's name has cropped up on multiple occasions before while being associated with past movies featuring Kartik Aaryan. But a concrete move hasn't materialised, yet. Shraddha Kapoor played the leading lady in Aashiqui 2 opposite Aditya Roy Kapur, so whether she returns to the franchise or not, is going to be an interesting development. Other reports suggested that Kriti Sanon was also in the offing but have not confirmed it.
