Chapter 28 - Chepter 24:Aashiqui 2

T-Series Office

With the cast finalized, Mohit Suri officially began pre-production. Krishna visited the T-Series office frequently, helping with practical decisions—especially locations and scheduling.

One afternoon, while reviewing the music lineup, Mohit asked carefully,

"Sir, we've finalized the songs. What do you think about the release format?

Hindi only… or Pan-India?"

Mohit genuinely wasn't sure. The film featured a newcomer female lead, which traditionally meant a Hindi-only release. But the male lead was Krishna—whose films now worked across India and Asia.

Krishna thought for a moment before replying calmly.

"Let's release it as a Hindi film," he said.

"This movie's soul is its music. Aashiqui connects deeply in Hindi—forcing it into six languages will dilute its emotion."

Mohit nodded, relieved.

"My next film can be Pan-India," Krishna continued.

"This one should stay honest to its heart."

Mohit smiled.

"Understood, sir."

With that clarity, everything moved smoothly.

Locations, songs, crew, schedule—everything was finalized.

Shooting Schedule

Shooting Date: 15 February

Before leaving, Krishna called Manoj.

"Manoj," he said,

"Once Sandeep completes his script, start casting and pre-production for that film too. That project will be Pan-India."

Manoj sighed lightly.

"Alright, bro—but don't exhaust yourself like before."

He had already tightened Krishna's diet and fitness routine—especially with two intense films back-to-back.

Aashiqui 2 – Shooting Location

Krishna arrived on set, calm and focused, ready to begin shooting.

At the same time, Shraddha Kapoor sat in her car, hands clasped, heart racing.

This was her first film with Krishna—the biggest star in the country.

She looked nervous.

Maya noticed immediately and smiled.

"Relax, Shraddha," she said gently.

"Krishna is kind-hearted. He supports new actors more than anyone."

Shraddha took a deep breath.

"Okay, Maya."

As her car slowed near the set, she looked outside the window.

Huge banners of top actresses dominating the industry lined the streets.

Shraddha swallowed quietly.

One day… I want to stand among them.

Goa • Mumbai • Cape Town

Aashiqui 2 – Shooting Locations

The shooting of Aashiqui 2 moved across breathtaking locations—Goa, Mumbai, and Cape Town.

On set, Krishna sat on a wooden bench beside Mohit Suri, discussing scenes and dialogue. With the writer present, Krishna carefully suggested improvements—not to change the soul of the film, but to deepen emotions and realism.

"This scene needs silence more than words," Krishna said softly.

Mohit nodded. "You're right. Let the pain speak."

Shraddha arrived at the shooting location and greeted the crew warmly.

She noticed Krishna speaking with the director.

Her heart raced—but her nature was fearless.

She walked forward.

"Hi, sir. My name is Shraddha," she said politely.

"I'm a big fan of your films."

Krishna smiled.

"Hi, Shraddha. I've seen your performance in ABCD. You were very good," he said warmly.

"I'm glad we're working together."

Her nervousness instantly eased.

This was Krishna's quiet strength—making others feel comfortable without effort.

Shraddha moved aside with Maya and the writer, carefully understanding her character. Soon, rehearsals began.

During emotional scenes, Shraddha made small mistakes.

Krishna gently guided her.

"Don't act the emotion," he said.

"Live it."

Romantic scenes and singing rehearsals followed.

"Like this, Shraddha."

"Okay, Krishna."

Slowly, they began calling each other by name.

The chemistry felt natural.

The Kissing Scene

When the kissing scene arrived, Shraddha froze.

"Maya… I'm very nervous," she whispered.

"It's my first kiss scene."

Maya smiled calmly.

"Relax. Trust Krishna. Just follow his lead."

Before the shot, Krishna spoke softly to her.

"Look into my eyes," he said.

"Don't see me as Krishna—see me as the character."

The camera rolled.

Their eyes met—not as actors, but as lovers.

The scene ended perfectly.

As soon as the director said cut, Shraddha turned red with embarrassment and hugged Krishna instinctively.

Krishna hugged her back—protective, respectful.

From that moment, their friendship deepened.

Quiet Moments in Goa

One evening, they walked freely along a private beach, secured by the crew.

"Let's go towards the beach," Shraddha said.

"Okay," Krishna replied.

Fans spotted Krishna from afar. He signed autographs gently and requested them not to reveal the location.

A small girl ran toward him.

"Hey, little one, where did you come from?" Krishna asked.

The girl smiled brightly.

"Bahubali! You are Bahubali!"

Krishna and Shraddha burst out laughing.

She turned out to be a crew member's daughter.

Krishna signed an autograph for her.

"Let's meet again," he said.

"Okay, Bahubali!" the girl shouted happily.

Later, Krishna and Shraddha swam near the riverbank.

"Krishna," Shraddha said quietly,

"I thought it would be very difficult acting with an Asia-level star. But you're not demanding at all."

She paused.

"You seem… alone. You don't have a girlfriend, right?"

Krishna smiled faintly.

"One day," he said.

"I'll find someone."

Shraddha teased him.

"Your fans will destroy her first," she laughed.

"So many actresses already like you. Even rumors boost careers."

Krishna nodded calmly.

"That's the industry," he said.

"The more your name spreads, the more your face value grows."

End of Shooting

Sixty days later, Aashiqui 2 completed shooting.

The last-day party was full of laughter.

Krishna and Shraddha danced, played games, and said goodbye to the crew.

Later, Shraddha sat in her car, face glowing.

Maya smiled knowingly.

"You like him, don't you?"

Shraddha covered her face.

"Stop, Maya. We live in different worlds."

Krishna's Silence

In his car, Krishna replayed moments with Shraddha in his mind.

For the first time in both lives,

he felt something unfamiliar.

He whispered to himself,

"We don't belong to the same world."

He called Manoj.

"Kabir Singh—how's it going?"

"Sandeep has completed the script," Manoj replied.

"He added fight sequences like you suggested."

"Good. Give him time," Krishna said.

"We'll start pre-production soon."

Manoj added,

"Gucci wants you as their Asia brand ambassador."

Krishna paused.

"Accept it."

As the car moved toward the airport,

Krishna stared out the window—

caught between ambition and emotion.

Mumbai • Krishna Villa

After returning to Mumbai, Krishna went straight to his villa.

He rested, slept peacefully in his room, and later spent some quiet time with Manoj—something rare in his life now.

A few days later, the Gucci brand

endorsement team arrived at Krishna's villa.

The photoshoot was simple yet elegant.

Krishna wore Gucci's latest collection—tailored suits, sharp jackets, and luxury casual wear. His blue eyes, calm confidence, and natural presence made every frame powerful.

One of the international team members whispered in awe,

"I've never seen someone carry luxury this effortlessly. Krishna, your face is perfect for Gucci."

Krishna acknowledged it with a polite nod.

Global Impact

After the endorsement was finalized, Indian media broke the news

Krishna became the first Indian actor to be the brand ambassador of Gucci at an Asia level.

Soon after, Gucci Magazine, one of the most influential fashion publications in the world, released its new issue.

Krishna's cover photo went viral—not only in Asia, but across Europe and America.

His sharp look and calm intensity became a global talking point.

Manoj shook his head in disbelief.

"Krishna, it's becoming difficult for you to travel anywhere normally now—even outside India."

Krishna smiled faintly.

Industry Updates

Krishna asked calmly,

"How is Aashiqui 2 progressing?"

"All post-release activities are done," Manoj replied.

"Release date is locked—11 July."

"That's good," Krishna said.

"And Kabir Singh?"

"The script is finalized. Casting is almost complete," Manoj explained.

"Only the female lead is left. This time, you should decide yourself."

Krishna leaned back, thoughtful.

"I'll tell you tomorrow," he said.

"I need time."

Manoj hesitated, then added with a grin,

"One more thing—on 11 July, Dharma Productions is releasing Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania."

Krishna raised an eyebrow.

"Any issue?"

"For us, no," Manoj laughed.

"But Karan Johar might lose money again. Last time he released a film with Baahubali, it didn't end well."

Krishna smiled slightly.

"That's the industry," he said calmly.

"Competition is everywhere."

As the room fell silent, Krishna's thoughts drifted—not toward box office numbers, but toward one question:

Who should stand beside him next—on screen.
