Since
a
very
long
time,
there
have
been
reports
about
Kartik
Aaryan
stepping
into
Allu
Arjun's
shoes
for
the
Hindi
remake
of
2020
Telugu
blockbuster
film
Ala
Vaikunthapurramuloo.
But
there
wasn't
an
official
word
on
this
from
the
makers
or
Kartik
himself.
However
in
a
recent
interview
with
a
leading
daily,
screenwriter
and
actor
Hussain
Dalal
confirmed
that
Kartik
has
been
roped
in
to
play
the
main
lead
in
this
much
awaited
Hindi
remake.
He
was
quoted
as
saying,
"An
actor's
own
qualities
and
personality
traits
always
lend
themselves
to
the
screenplay.
For
instance,
Kartik
Aaryan
as
an
actor
and
as
a
person
is
different
from
Allu
sir.
That
has
to
be
factored
in
while
writing
the
screenplay."
Speaking
about
adapting
the
Telugu
blockbuster
for
Bollywood,
Hussain
added,
"Allu
Arjun
has
a
certain
swag
and
Kartik
has
his
own
kind
of
screen
presence
and
style
that
we
have
to
play
with.
An
adaptation
works
best
when
you
are
clear
about
who
you
are
adapting
the
story
for,
what
you
plan
to
say
with
it,
and
how."
Allu
Arjun-starrer
Ala
Vaikunthapurramuloo
was
one
of
the
highest-grossing
Telugu
films
of
2020.

Trivikram
Srinivas,
the
action
drama
also
starred
Pooja
Hegde
and

pivotal
roles.
Ala

revolves
around
a
young
man
who
finds
his
world
shaken
upon
learning
that
he
was
switched
at
birth
with
a
millionaire's
son.
Coming
back
to

young
star

exciting

the
pipeline.
