Kartik Aaryan kick-starts his 'Shehzada' journey alongside Kriti Sanon
Kartik Aaryan, who is awaiting the release of his OTT debut Dhamaka next month, has already hopped onto his next, Shehzada. Rohit Dhawan is helming this film, for which Aaryan's Luka Chuppi co-star Kriti Sanon has been roped in as the female lead. The Love Aaj Kal star took to his social media accounts today to update his fans about this development.
Aaryan's back is toward the camera. Hiding his look?
Aaryan, who is playing Arjun Pathak in his upcoming movie Dhamaka, shared a picture with the caption "#Shehzada shuru.." probably from the sets of his film. The Pyaar Ka Punchnama actor is seen holding a clapboard, while letting his back face the camera. Is he consciously trying to hide his look? Shehzada is a remake of Allu Arjun's Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, written-directed by Trivikram Srinivas.
