Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan has revealed the reason of returning the fees he got for movie ‘Shehzada’ as an actor.
Kartik Aaryan makes his debut as a producer with his latest film Shehzada. In a new interview, the actor opened up on the circumstances that led him to returning his fees and becoming a co-producer on the film that hit theatres on Friday.
Shehzada also features Kriti Sanon and Paresh Rawal in important roles. The film directed by Rohit Dhawan and released on February 17. The film was initially set for a February 10 release, but it was postponed ‘out of respect for Pathaan’. Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan released last month and has been ruling the box office ever since.

Asked if he had cut down his remuneration or was working on profit-share basis as a producer on Shehzada, Kartik told ETimes, “For this one. Initially, I was not on board as a producer for Shehzada. At first, I had taken my fees and remuneration. And then there was a crisis. The film was going through a crisis and they needed somebody to step up. So I asked my producer then I gave up my money. That is how this whole thing, production and me becoming a co-producer came (into being).”
Talking about being a producer, Kartik had said at the trailer launch of Shehzada, “We face problems while working on films. All films have their share of problems. I am always fully involved in the films I do. It is always about being all in. The credit for this goes to my producers who gave me the producer credit.”
