It is difficult to label it superstition. The wafer-thin Bollywood sensation Shraddha Kapoor believes that every time her father, Shakti Kapoor (Indian cinema’s villain of villains) watches the first show of her film in Delhi it becomes a box office hit.

In that regard she cites the example of Aashiqui 2 and Haider which Shakti K saw in the Indian capital. Now Shraddha K wants her dad to see her new film ABCD2 in Delhi.

Tell you what dear, this time round you might want him to watch the film somewhere in the world where it cannot be openly discussed.
