Even as the coming weeks are set to witness a couple of big films vying for the box-office pie, some other filmmakers are opting to avoid a clash at the ticket windows. Barely two months after announcing June 29, 2023, as the release date of Ayushmann Khurrana and Ananya Panday’s Dream Girl 2, the makers yesterday advanced its date with cinemas. Director Raaj Shaandilyaa’s sequel to his successful 2019 comic caper will now open a week before, on June 23. Reason: to avoid a clash with Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani’s Satyaprem Ki Katha, which had booked the June 29 slot earlier. Can’t blame them as Ayushmann is having a rough run at the box office. Despite well-meaning subjects, his last three offerings like Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui (2021, Anek and Doctor G haven’t exactly set the cash registers ringing. Moreover, Satyaprem Ki Katha marks the reunion of Kartik and Kiara, who are riding high on the success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, also one of the biggest hits of the year so far. So while, Kartik is at an advantage currently, how he compares with Ayushmann will be re-evaluated after the release of Shehzada on February 10.
