New Delhi: Kartik Aaryan is all set to add credits to his name as a producer with his upcoming film' Shehzada' opposite Kriti Sanon. The actor who left the audiences impressed with his performance in 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' which turned out to be one of the highest grossers of 2022 and established Kartik as an A league actor, will be seen in an all new avatar in 'Shehzada'. The film is the remake of 'Ala Vaikuntapuramaloo' starring Allu Arjun and Pooja Hegde.
While the audience is truly excited to watch Kartik in a whole new massive action avatar in the film, here comes yet another piece of news for his fans about him turning a producer for 'Shehzada'.
A source close to Kartik reveals, “It wasn’t planned or anything. It is the early days for Kartik to turn producer. He has just started his career as an actor. But then, the unexpected happened. Shehzada encountered a financial crisis and if someone did not step in at that moment, the project would have been stalled.”
After having seen such circumstances arising, it was indeed a fair decision from Kartik to step forward to rescue the project. “Kartik offered to forego his remuneration. That’s when the other producers offered to have him on board as a producer,” as informed by a friend.
Having joined the film as a producer, Kartik has added his name to the other producers Bhushan Kumar, Allu Arvind, and Aman Gill. The production companies are T-Series Films, part of their 100-film slate, Allu Entertainment and Haarika & Hassine Creations.
The filmmakers said, “It’s been quite a joyride making this film with Kartik as an actor, but now it’s become even more exciting having Kartik on board as one of the producers of the film. Like us Kartik too believes in wide-reaching films that appeal to youngsters, families and the masses. ‘Shehzada’ is meant for all of them, hence it made natural sense for him to pick this film for his debut as producer.”
On the work front, as the first look of his upcoming 'Shehzada' has already left the masses impressed, Kartik will also be seen in 'Aashiqui 3', and Kabir Khan’s untitled next along with 'Satyaprem Ki Katha'.
