Kartik Aaryan Gets Candid About Shehzada’s Theatrical Failure

As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but sing the praises of Kartik Aaryan, who never ceases to amaze me with his unwavering dedication to his cinematic endeavors. In numerous situations, he has selflessly reduced his remuneration or even dipped into his own savings to safeguard his films and alleviate the financial burden on the producers.

Speaking honestly about Shehzada’s setbacks, Kartik admitted, “Shehzada’s attempt didn’t succeed, and we faced a crisis even before its launch. Generously, they credited me as a producer.

I strive to secure my films in every way possible, as he concluded.
