Kartik Aaryan is certainly one actor who managed to pull the audience to the theatres in 2022. Now this year too, he is all set to go massy, but in a family way. He is all set to feature in the Hindi adaptation of the much loved Telugu blockbuster ‘Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo’. The film, titled ‘Shehzada’, features him stepping into the shoes of star Allu Arjun, and will star him alongside Kriti Sanon.
The makers have dropped the trailer of the film on Thursday, and it features Kartik showcasing all the massy action moves along with a lot of catchy dialogues. The trailer begins with Kartik’s character finding out that he is the son of a multi-millionaire, played by Ronit Roy, and not of a working class man, played by Paresh Rawal. Once he discovers that, he sets out to claim what is rightfully his.
With some SS Rajamouli references, and a dig on nepotism, the film certainly seems to be an out-and-out entertainer. Watch the trailer here:
For the film, Kartik has also turned as one of the producers. “Like us Kartik too believes in wide reaching films that appeal to the youngsters, families and masses, and Shehzada is meant for all of them, hence it made natural sense for him to pick this film for his debut as producer,” the makers had said in a statement. ‘Shehzada’ is backed by Bhushan Kumar, Allu Arvind and Aman Gill.
The film also stars Manisha Koirala, Paresh Rawal, Ronit Roy, and Sachin Khedekar. It is helmed by Rohit Dhawan, who returns to filmmaking after ‘Desi Boyz’ and ‘Dishoom’. ‘Shehzada’ is slated to release in theatres on February 10.
