The film has been produced by Bhushan Kumar, Allu Arvind, Aman Gill and Kartik. According to reports, the movie marks Kartik’s debut as a producer. The makers of the film released a statement on Kartik producing the film, which read, “It's been quite a joyride making this film with Kartik as an actor, but now it’s become even more exciting having Kartik on board as one of the producers of the film. Like us Kartik too believes in wide-reaching films that appeal to the youngsters, families and masses, and Shehzada is meant for all of them, hence it made natural sense for him to pick this film for his debut as producer.”
