There was speculation that the cancellation of the Hindi release of ‘Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo’ was due to the Kartik Aaryan-starrer ‘Shehzada,’ and that the Bollywood actor was the reason for it. The makers have now emphasised that the decision was made by the producers, and Kartik never requested them to interfere or threatened to leave the project.
The producer Bhushan Kumar said: “We, the producers, felt that ‘Shehzada’ should release in theatres 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.” He said: “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 said, “Kartik’s intent and excitement for the film 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.” Producer Aman Gill said: “After finding out about the Hindi Version release of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo we the producers on our own requested Manishji (Shah) to not release it.

“Kartik is going all out for ‘Shehzada’ as an actor and only discusses how he can contribute to make this the biggest film for everyone involved, he is one of most dedicated actors in the industry.”
