Early trends suggest that ‘Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania’ has got more takers than ‘Shezada’. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared that Kartik Aaryan’s film earned around Rs 2.92 crore on the first day, while ‘Ant-Man 3’ managed to collect Rs 4.15 crore in major multiplex chains across the country. However, these are early trends from the opening day and the final figures are yet to come.
director Rohit Dhawan‘Shehzada’ is the official Hindi remake of the 2020 Telugu hit ‘Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo’, which starred Allu Arjun and Pooja Hegde in lead roles. Speaking about the comparisons with Allu Arjun, Kartik had told ETimes, “With every film, I am being compared to someone or the other. So I have no problem with not reacting or not thinking about it. When I was offered the film as well, I never thought of such things. Because I know these things always happen with every film – I have seen the same pattern during Bhool Bhulaiyaa and now during Shehzada. This is a common question that I have been asked time and time again. But I am fine, I have done my own thing and with the character. And I hope people like what I have done.” ‘Shehzada’ also stars Paresh Rawal, Manisha Koirala, Rajpal Yadav, Ronit Roy and Sachin Khedekar.
