Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon’s Shehzada is all set to hit the theatres today. Apart from the grand promotions for the film, Kartik also made headlines for forgoing his remuneration for the film and turning co-producer.
In a recent interview with Etimes, the actor revealed that initially he had taken his remuneration as an actor, but eventually the film faced a financial crisis. Kartik said that “they needed someone to step up” hence he discussed with his producers and decided to give up his money for the film. When asked if he returned his remuneration in full, Kartik added, “almost.”
Kartik also revealed that he had signed Shehzada way before he signed Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and added, “We are in a good spot right now. It is a mid-budget film but technically it will look grand and it will have that scale.”
In a separate interview with Pinkvilla, Kartik spoke about the financial issues faced by the film and said, “I am all in for the film. When certain issues, not related to our world were happening, they needed someone to stand up and that’s what I did. They suggested me to become a producer with this film and that was it. I am still looking at this film as an actor mostly because majority of my work as a producer is being done by all the producers.
The film is a remake of the 2020 Telugu film Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo starring Allu Arjun. Shehzada also stars Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Manisha Koirala, Ronit Roy and Sachin Khedekar.
