‘Shehzada’ will now clash with the Karan Johar directorial ‘Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani’. KJo is returning to the big screen almost six years after his last film ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’, though he has doled out anthologies on OTT platforms in these six years, teaming up with Zoya Akhtar, Anurag Kashyap and Dibakar Banerjee.
