TellyChakkar interacted with producer and film business expert Girish Johar about it and asked him whether Pathaan Day will affect the opening of Shehzada. He told us, “I don’t think so, but to be honest it is a good lucrative offer. It may dent but on a minuscule level. For the Hindi movie-going audience first choice any which way would be Shehzada, but if the reports of the film are not that encouraging, by the end of the day, then Pathaan can catch up. But, I don’t think it will be affected majorly. However, it’s a very smart strategy by team Pathaan.” 

Directed by Rohit Dhawan, Shehzada was supposed to release on 10th Feb 2023. But, the makers decided to postpone the release by a week.
