The release date of Bollywood star Kartik Aaryan`s upcoming action entertainer film `Shehzada` has been pushed by a week. The film, which also stars Kriti Sanon and Paresh Rawal was earlier supposed to release in cinemas on February 10 but now, it`ll release on February 17. 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.
