Kartik
Aaryan
is
reportedly
doing
his
most
intense
role
so
far.
Details
of
Anurag
Basu’s
next
love
story
Aashiqui
3,
co-starring
Sreeleela,
of
two
people
passionately
in
love
and
yet
unable
to
stay
together,
are
yet
to
be
outed,
but
a
source
close
to
the
project
tells
Subhash
K
Jha
that
Kartik
has
never
worked
so
hard
for
any
character
yet.
“He
is
following
Dilip
Kumar’s
Devdas
model.
The
legendary
actor
became
so
involved
with
the
character
that
he
slept
and
breathed
like
Devdas.
Kartik
has
cut
himself
off
from
all
personal
interactions
to
remain
in
character
for
Anurag
Basu’s
film.
“Anurag
wanted
Kartik
to
grow
a
beard,
lose
weight
drastically
and
try
to
remain
in
a
dark
place,”
the
source
says,
adding
that
the
only
other
film
Kartik
had
worked
so
hard
for
was
Chandu
Champion.
The
film,
it’s
said,
has
already
begun
to
take
a
toll
on
Kartik.
Sources
reveal
that
the
actor
is
not
getting
much
sleep
these
days.
“He
hardly
sleeps,
he
hardly
talks.
All
his
focus
is
on
remaining
in
character
for
the
film,”
a
friend
of
Kartik
informs.
While
the
onscreen
romance
may
come
with
its
complications,
the
‘offscreen
romance’
between
Kartik
and
Sreeleela
seems
to
have
tickled
Anurag
Basu.
