Aashiqui 2, directed by Sudhanshu Vats and produced by Aditya Music, was released in 2013 and became a massive hit. The film, starring Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor, was a remake of the 2010 Bengali film "Roshona". The movie's success was not limited to India, as it also gained popularity worldwide. However, the film's success was short-lived, as it soon found its way onto piracy websites, including Movierulz.
