Kartik Aryan, Kriti Sanon's next 'Shehzada' to have Pritam's music?
What's the story
Last year, it was reported that the Hindi remake of Telugu blockbuster Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo will have Rohit Dhawan at the helm and Kartik Aaryan as the lead. And then this March, we learned that Kriti Sanon will be his leading lady. Now, recent reports have suggested that makers have roped in Bollywood's ace music director Pritam Chakraborty for this flick that's been titled Shehzada.

A source close to the project informed Pinkvilla that both Dhawan and Pritam are collaborating again to "create an original music album" for Shehzada. "The film has ample scope for music and the team is already jamming with Pritam to create some foot-tapping numbers," the source added. Dhawan and the music composer had earlier teamed up for hit albums Desi Boyz and Dishoom.
