Contrary to the reports, 'Aashiqui 2' is not a sequel to 'Aashiqui', clarified Suri and added: "It's a new story. The only similarity is the music and the love story. There are seven to eight songs in the film. It's a musical."

The original 'Aashiqui' starring Rahul Roy and Anu Agarwal was directed by Mahesh Bhatt. It came out in 1990 and was not only a box office success, but all its songs, including 'Ek sanam chahiye' and 'Nazar ke saamne jigar ke', were chartbusters.
