'Shehzada' makers and director defend Kartik Aaryan over recent controversy
- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,January 26 2022]
Actor Kartik Aaryan recently landed into controversy after producer Manish Shah accused him of unprofessionalism. The filmmaker claimed that Kartik threatened to walk out of the film 'Shehzada' if the Hindi version of 'Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo' is released in theatres. Now producer and director of 'Shehzada' have defended the actor and denied these claims.
Bhushan Kumar stated, We, the producers, felt that 'Shehzada' should release in theatre first and not the Hindi version of 'Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo', hence we requested Goldmines not to release the Hindi version, and release of the film is always the producers' decision and not actor. I have known Kartik since the beginning of his career. We have done multiple films together. He is one of the most professional actors I have worked with.
Director Rohit Dhawan also came out in Kartik's defense and said, Kartik’s intent and excitement for ‘Shehzada’ is unquestionable. It’s been a joy working with him. As director and actor, we share a solid bond and nothing can come in the way of our love for the film.
