MUMBAI: 2022 was not a good year for remakes. All the Hindi remakes of South and international films had failed to make a mark at the box office last year apart from Ajay Devgn starrer Drishyam 2. Now, in 2023, the first remake to release will be Shehzada which stars Kartik Aaryan, Kriti Sanon, Paresh Rawal, and Manisha Koirala in the lead roles.

The trailer of Shehzada was released yesterday and it has been getting a decent response. However, people who have seen the original film have been comparing it with the Allu Arjun starrer. Interestingly, the trailer of Shehzada was launched, the day Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo was released in 2020.

Last year, it was also announced that Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo will be released in theatres in Hindi as well. However, later the plan to release it in Hindi was cancelled. But, the movie’s Hindi version premiered on TV.
