Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, starring Allu Arjun and Pooja Hegde, was released in 2020 and turned out to be a huge success. Last year, Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon were signed to play the lead roles in the official Hindi remake of the Telugu film.

Helmed by Rohit Dhawan, the Hindi remake is named Shehzada. However, Goldmines Telefilms' Manish Shah, who has purchased the Hindi dubbing rights to Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, wasn't happy with the Shehzada announcement and was all set to release the Hindi dubbed version of Allu Arjun's hit film in theatres on January 26.

Later, in a meeting, Allu Arjun's father Allu Aravind, the producer of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo and co-producer of its Hindi version, reportedly convinced Shah to not release the film’s Hindi dubbed version on the big screen. Post which, Goldmines issued an official statement revealing that the Hindi version of the Telugu blockbuster will not release in theatres and will premiere on Shah's TV channel, Dhinchaak, on February 13. 

Here’s the Hindi trailer of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo:

Well, you must be wondering why Shah is releasing it on his channel where the premiere might go unnoticed. According to the latest buzz, he is happy as he has got a big amount to stop the theatrical release. Reportedly, Allu Aravind needed mediators to convince Shah and producer Sajid Nadiadwala as well as leading distributor Anil Thadani (Raveena Tandon's husband) were with him during the meeting. 

Revealing the details, a source informed ETimes "That day, the trio sat at Shah's office till 2.30 pm. It wasn't easy to convince Shah but the presence of Nadiadwala and Thadani helped, especially that of the former. The three arrived at Shah's office almost at the same time (clearly, they'd coordinated with each other) and spoke very nicely to Shah. Finally, they prevailed upon him- but not before settling an amount to the tune of Rs 9 crore with him".

However, Shah is yet to confirm it. Hmm...we'll just say, all's well that ends well.
