Kartik Aaryan's 'Shehzada' postponed; to release on February 10, 2023
Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon's fans will have to wait longer to witness their second outing together. Their highly anticipated film Shehzada, which was earlier supposed to be released on November 4, has been postponed and will now be hitting theaters on February 10, 2023, instead. Shehzada is now poised to lock horns with Karan Johar's directorial Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani.
Why does this story matter?
Sanon and Aaryan earlier worked together in Luka Chuppi, a 2019 rom-com that couldn't impress critics but was appreciated by the masses. Aaryan has recently delivered his career's biggest hit in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, so there's a lot riding on Shehzada as well. On the other hand, Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani is Johar's first feature directorial after Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016).
The venture is backed by T-Series
On Saturday, Aaryan took to social media to announce Shehzada's new release date along with a still from the movie. He wrote, "#Shehzada Returns Home [crown emoji] Feb 10th 2023!! (sic)" Shehzada is directed by Rohit Dhawan (Dishoom) and also stars Manisha Koirala, Paresh Rawal, and Ronit Roy. It is co-produced by Bhushan Kumar's T-Series. Ace music director Pritam is helming the music department.
