Kartik Aaryan's 'Shehzada' release pushed by a week to Feb 17 - Mumbai News

Senior film trade analyst Taran Adarsh notified about the new release date of the film through his Twitter. He wrote, "#BreakingNews... #Shehzada shifts to a new date... Will now arrive one week late, on 17 Feb 2023... This #KartikAaryan - #KritiSanon starrer is directed by #RohitDhawan".

The reason behind the release date of the film being pushed is being seen as the earth-shattering performance of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's recent release 'Pathaan' at the box-office which while continuing its dream run at the box-office is setting up new records in film trade.

The performance of 'Pathaan' is reminiscent of the Allu Arjun-starrer 'Pushpa: The Rise', which set the box-office on fire and affected the business of films that were released with it or a few weeks after it.

'Pathaan', which also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, is currently playing in theatres successfully despite boycott calls by certain outfits.
