Production partnership

Ever since the trailer of Shehzada dropped online, everyone is talking about Kartik Aaryan turning producer with the film. Sharing that all films go through their share of hiccups, the actor admitted that the credit for his new role goes to the primary producers on the project. However, some are saying that it is all a part of the adjustment to keep the cost in check. While Kartik had reportedly hiked his remuneration after the success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, the budget of Shehzada soared in the wake of the pandemic-induced lockdowns. To ensure minimum risk of the investment and retain the viability of the project, the actor reduced his upfront fee, and adjusted a considerable chunk as profit sharing in case of the film’s success. Smart move. The upcoming film is director Rohit Dhawan’s adaptation of Allu Arjun’s Telugu hit, Ala Vaikuntha-puramaloo.
