New Delhi: As Kartik Aaryan starrer ‘Shehzada’ releases in theatres today, many Allu Arjun fans are most likely to draw comparisons between the remake and the original film ‘Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo’ of which ‘Shehzada’ is a remake. Kartik Aaryan who has been on a rigorous promotion spree for his upcoming film addressed the comparison talk. In a recent interaction with ETimes, he spoke about the evident comparisons between the ‘Pushpa’ star and himself.
Kartik told ETimes, “With every film, I am being compared to something or someone. So I am okay with not reacting or not thinking about it. When I was offered the film also, I never thought of such things. Because I know that these things always happen with every film – I have seen the same pattern during Bhool Bhulaiyaa and now again during Shehzada. This is a normal question which has been asked again and again to me. But I am okay, I have done my own things and with the character. And I hope what I have done, people will like it.”
Kartik also spoke about his film choices and said that he is doing one entertainer and one serious film alternately. In the same interaction with the publication he said, his next film is a serious love story. “I’m playing safe. I didn’t imagine it to be like this. I mean, there was a thought behind choosing such films. But there was not a thought that this film will come after this or this film will come after this.”
“It became like that on its own. But there was this choice of scripts which thankfully was coming to me, and it was a conscious decision to do such films. A mix of a romantic thriller like Freddy, a dark thriller, and then suddenly switching gears to a film as massy as Shehzada.” Kartik added.
Shehzada also stars Kriti Sanon. Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon are reuniting after ‘Luka Chuppi’ in 2019. Touted to be a family entertainer, ‘Shehzada’ also stars Manisha Koirala and Ronit Roy. Helmed by Rohit Dhawan, ‘Shehzada’ is in theaters from today.
