Kartik Aaryan will play the lead in Ala Vaikunthapuramuloo’s remake Shehzada

Ala Vaikunthapuramuloo starring Allu Arjun was truly a money-spinner down South. Even on its digital release, audiences loved the concept of the film and became a massive hit. This is the reason why Bollywood wants to spin the story and remake it. It has been speculated that Kartik Aaryan is the leading man for its remake titled Shezada and Rohit Dhawan will don the director’s hat for the film.

Not the filmmakers, nor the actor has made anything official, but the rumors are quite sure of Kartik Aaryan playing the lead. Hussain Dalal, who is adapting the script of Ala Vaikunthapuramuloo in Hindi and fine-tuning it for Bollywood viewers, spoke how important is it to spin the South story and write it according to the personality of the lead. He says, “An actor’s own qualities and personality traits always lend themselves to the screenplay. For instance, Kartik Aaryan as an actor and as a person is different from Allu sir. That has to be factored in while writing the screenplay. The way a film is conceived in the South industries is also different from the way we do it in Bollywood. As a writer, I have had to work around that each time I have adapted a film from one language into another.”
