Undoubtedly The Worst Film Of @TheAaryanKartik In The Last 5 Years. Comedy, Music Is Worth Watching But Screenplay, Same Story Is Boring To Watch. One Time Watchable! #Shehzada.” A few have also slammed Kartik for over acting in this movie and felt he could not recreate the magic of South superstar Allu Arjun. Take a look:

Also starring Manisha Koirala and Ronit Roy as Kartik’s on-screen parents with Paresh Rawal as his foster father, the film has been directed by Varun Dhawan’s brother Rohit Dhawan.
