Exhibitor Manoj Desai reveals 'Selfiee' and 'Shehzada' are "finished", shows being replaced with 'Pathaan'

Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham delivered a blitzkrieg at the box office, which continues to attract audiences, even a month after its release. With its marathon run, the film has outperformed every other film in its path. Kartik Aaryan starrer ‘Shehzada’ and Akshay Kumar-Emraan Hashmi’s ‘Selfiee’ have found few takers, while ‘Pathaan’ continues to shine in all glory.


Shows of ‘Selfiee’ and ‘Shehzada’ are being pulled down, with ‘Pathaan’ taking charge. Confirming the same, Manoj Desai, executive director of G7 multiplex and Maratha Mandir Cinema, told ETimes, “‘Selfiee’ and ‘Shehzada’ are finished. I have replaced all shows of both the films in Maratha Mandir with ‘Pathaan’ and will soon follow suit with the same at Gaiety and Galaxy multiplexes. I have also decreased the ticket prices of ‘Pathaan’ as audiences are still coming in to watch the movie. Whereas there is hardly any audience for ‘Selfiee’ and ‘Shehzada’. The whole of last week ‘Selfiee’ has made us weep with its footfalls. We are now waiting for the release of Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor starrer ‘Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar’.”


Directed by Raj Mehta, ‘Selfiee’ had earned Rs 11.35 crore in four days, while ‘Shehzada’ has earned around Rs 30 crore nett in 12 days. While ‘Pathaan’ has earned Rs 503 crore in Hindi markets till date.
