The fact that Tripti Dimri is being replaced with another actress to play the lead role in Aashiqui 3 points towards the emphasis filmmakers have on the kind of image the actor projects for a film. The Aashiqui series is known to weave love stories on the premise of innocence and depth in emotions; the earlier being depicted by Anu Agarwal in Aashiqui (1990), and the later by Shraddha Kapoor in Aashiqui 2 (2013). According to the reports, the makers were keen on maintaining this legacy by choosing an actress who would bring the presence and style of acting needed to unravel the story with its need for simplicity and purity.

Though Tripti Dimri has been critically acclaimed in films like Qala and Bulbbul, her latest projects have taken her public image to a level the producers felt is not the ideal fit for this role. Perhaps the underperformance of her last few films also played a part in this decision.
The move to seek a fresh face signals the intent of the makers to capture the imagination of the audience with somebody who embodies that timeless quality of love and innocence that the Aashiqui series is known for. Fans are eagerly waiting for who will walk into this iconic role and bring some new romantic tale to life. This casting change might significantly influence the tone and success of the film, so the next announcement will be worth waiting for.
