Shahid Kapoor is all set to play a young, angry surgeon in his upcoming film Kabir Singh which is an official remake of 2017 Telugu hit Arjun Reddy. The movie highlights the story of love and passion on a path of self-destruction through alcohol, cocaine, cigarettes and lots of anger.

When asked how challenging was to play the self-destructive character, the actor said that it was almost schizophrenic because the two worlds are such contrasts. Had he been single, living alone, he might have immersed himself in this dark zone for six months, like he did during Udta Punjab. But this time he is married, a father, so he had to sanitize myself before returning home to protect his children from the negative energy. He couldn’t carry Kabir’s emotional baggage back so he had to flip roles after ‘pack-up’.

Kabir Singh starring Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani is directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Murad Khetani, Krishan Kumar & Ashwin Varde.

The film will be releasing on 21st June 2019.
