'Allu Arjun ka swag match karna mushkil..': Kartik Aaryan starrer Shehzada trailer release leaves fans divided

The trailer of the much-anticipated Shehzada starring Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon is out for the audience to react to. The film is the Hindi remake of Allu Arjun starrer Telugu movie titled Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo which was released in 2020. Kartik stepped into the shoes of the Telugu superstar in the upcoming movie, hence the comparison was inevitable. As soon as the trailer dropped, some netizens gushed over Kartik’s action avatar and comic timing while others drew comparisons between him and Allu.

Talking about the trailer, the three-minute-long video shows Kartik making a smashing entry with an action sequence. He is seen playing a free-spirited lad who can fight the world for the sake of his family. But then he gets to know for the family he is fighting is not his actual family, instead, he is the son of a billionaire. Actually, the makers seem to have taken the same plot as Allu’s movie but with a different cast and made a few changes.
