With Shehzaada, Kartik Aryan returned to the big screen after the successful Bhool Bhuliayaa 2. Everyone in the film business was confident that Kartik would maintain his record-breaking box-office success. After Pathaan, Shehzada was 2023’s next significant film release. In India, it opened on more than 3,000 screens. Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan demonstrated his prowess in the action genre with his most recent film, “Shehzada,” after dabbling in comedy and romance. This movie is a remake of Allu Arjun’s 2020 Telugu action drama “Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo,” which was a huge smash. Since Aaryan became a producer with Shehzada, the Hindi remake has been in the headlines often. It was also one of the actor’s most eagerly awaited movies. Kartik Aaryan plays Bantu in Shehzada, and Kriti Sanon plays Amulya. On January 26, 2022, the Hindi adaptation of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo was scheduled for cinema release in response to Pushpa’s success in the North market. However, the release schedule was scrapped after Shehzada’s creators asked Goldmines not to release the dub version. Finally, the film was released on February 10, 2023. The actor shared the Shehzada poster on January 11, 2023, along with other members of the cast and crew, announcing the day that the trailer would be released as well as the OTT service provider.

How does he first meet Ronit Roy and Manisha Koirala, his parents? Why is Bantu separated from his family by Valmiki? This is the central conflict of the film Shehzada.
