The film is the Hindi remake of Telugu film Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo that starred Allu Arjun in the lead role. The trailer and the songs of the film have already received a positive response. Now all eyes are on Shehzada’s box office collections.
For the unversed, Shehzada was earlier slated to release on February 10 but was postponed by a week to avoid any sort of a clash with Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan, which is having a historic run at the box office.
After this, Kartik Aaryan will be seen in Aashiqui 3, directed by Anurag Basu, in the pipeline. Kartik’s last film Freddy was released directly on Disney+ Hotstar.
