In an interview with Variety India, Mohit revealed why he never made a film with the iconic Aashiqui 2 pair, Aditya and Shraddha, after the 2013 release.

However, Aditya was keen to reunite with the director. Mohit recalled Aditya reached out to him saying that they hadn’t worked together after Aashiqui 2. Reacting to this, the filmmaker promised the actor that he would make an action movie with him. And so he did with Malang. The director added that he couldn’t beat Aashiqui 2 for himself with Aditya.
Continuing the chat, Mohit further shared that whenever he cast some appropriate for the character, it landed for him. But when he tried making a project out of a movie, it didn’t work for the director.
