- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,January 26 2022]
Actor Kartik Aaryan is currently working on his upcoming film 'Shehzada' and the latest buzz about him suggests that he had threatened makers of leaving the project midway. Apparently, 'Shehzada' is a remake of Allu Arjun starrer 'Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo' which was a Telugu blockbuster. In a recent interview with India Today, producer Manish Shah stated that Kartik threatened to walk out of 'Shehzada' if the Hindi version of 'Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo' was released.
Manish told the news outlet, The makers of Shehzada were not keen to release the Hindi version in cinemas. Also, Kartik Aaryan said if the movie was released in theatres, he would walk out of the film, which would have caused Shehzada producers a loss of ₹40 crores. It was extremely unprofessional of him.”
The filmmaker further added, I have known Shehzada producers for 10 years. I cannot have people who are close to me losing ₹40 crores, so I dropped it. By doing this, I ended up losing ₹20 crores. I spent ₹2 crores only on dubbing. I wanted this film to be bigger than Pushpa: The Rise. If I do not release the film I lose money, so now I am releasing it on my channel. I would not have done anything for Kartik Aaryan, I only did this because of Allu Arvind. Why would I do this for a Bollywood hero? I don't know him.
