However, Bhushan Kumar in March 2024, revealed that he would be producing the film independently, leading to speculation that the movie might have been rebranded as Tu Aashiqui Hai.
Reports from November suggested that Aaryan hoped to maintain its connection to the Aashiqui series. The film’s trajectory became more complicated when it was rumored that actress Triptii Dimri had been removed from the cast.
Sources close to the production claimed that Triptii Dimri’s bold image, highlighted in films like Animal and Bad Newzz, was not in line with the filmmakers’ vision for the female lead.
They reportedly wanted a more “pure, innocent” face, which led them to reconsider Dimri’s casting. However, an insider close to Dimri strongly denied these claims, stating that discussions about her involvement were entirely fabricated. The source also suggested that someone within the production might have spread these rumors to orchestrate Dimri’s exit.
