Mumbai, January 30 - Kartik Aaryan's action drama film "Shehzada" has been postponed by one week and will now be hitting the theaters on February 17. While the reason behind the postponement of the movie is not clear yet, reports say the makers have taken considering Shah Rukh Khan's "Pathaan" which is running riot at the box office. ## The decision to postpone the release of "Shehzada" is seen as a wise move considering the fact that Bollywood has failed to score back-to-back hits post the covid-19 pandemic.
