There is a new twist in the tale of Allu Arjun’s 2020 Telugu blockbuster Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo’s dubbed Hindi release in theatres.  

Ever since the theatrical release of the Allu Arjun starrer was announced, the reports had stated that makers of its Hindi remake Shehzada starring Kartik Aaryan aren’t happy about it and rightly so.  

In fact, Paresh Rawal, who plays an important role in the Hindi remake had expressed shock over the theatrical release of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo in Hindi. 

Now, Goldmines, the production house behind the Hindi release of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo has released a statement announcing the withdrawal of the theatrical release of the Allu Arjun starrer. 

The statement reads, "To media & Trade Manish Shah promoter of Goldmines along with the makers of Shehzada have jointly decided to withdraw the theatrical release of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo Hindi version. Shehzada makers are thankful to Manish Shah for agreeing to the same."

The sudden change in the plan could be because of Allu Arjun's father Allu Aravind who is the producer of the original Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo and is also co-producing the Hindi version Shehzada.

Earlier, a report in ETimes had claimed that Allu Arjun’s father Allu Aravind, the producer of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, arrived in Mumbai to talk to the producer Manish Shah of Goldmines Telefilms, who owns the rights to the Hindi version of the Telugu film, to stop the theatrical release of AVPL. 

A source told the website, “The Kartik Aaryan starrer Shehzada (with Kriti Sanon opposite him) is the official Hindi remake of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, which Allu Aravind is co-producing with Bhushan Kumar and Aman Gill. Allu Aravind would ideally like Shehzada to be the only Hindi version of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo.”

The source further added, “Allu Aravind had arrived in Mumbai yesterday with his team and the meetings with Shah went on for two days. We shall soon know, January 26 is not far away.” 

There were also reports that Kartik had met Manish Shah to try and persuade him to not release the Hindi dubbed version of the film.  

When asked about it, Shah told ETimes, “Kartik has not met me but they are feeling that the release of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo will affect the business of Shehzada. So we are now looking at the best way forward to ensure that Shehzada is not affected.”
