Aashiqui, starring Anu Aggarwal, Rahul Roy and Deepak Tijori, released in 1990 and was a huge box office and critical success. The first installment of the franchise was directed by Mahesh Bhatt. It was known for its songs composed by Nadeem-Shravan.
Aashiqui 2, directed by Mohit Suri, was also successful. It was said to be a remake of the Hollywood film A Star Is Born (1937). Like its predecessor, Aashiqui 2's music was immensely popular among the youth.
