Oye
Hottie!
The
picture
features
Shahid
Kapoor
sporting
a
scraggly
beard
and
a
mop
of
hair
which
is
quite
similar
to
Vijay
Deverakonda's
look
from
Arjun
Reddy.
Best
Wishes
From
Vijay
Deverakonda
When
the
makers
released
the
first
look
poster
of
Kabir
Singh,
Vijay
Deverakonda
took
to
Twitter
and
wrote,
"Kabir
Singh!
Arjun
Reddy
wishes
you
the
best
:)
@imvangasandeep
-
Full
power
to
you
my
man
👊🏼."
Kiara
Advani
As
Shahid
Kapoor's
Love
Interest
The
actress
will
be
reprising
Shalini
Pandey's
role
from
the
original
flick. Earlier
Tara
Sutaria
was
supposed
to
star
in
Kabir
Singh.
When
Kiara
was
asked
about
this,
she
said,
"I
think
the
film
chose
me
it
was
in
my
destiny.
I
had
watched
the
original
(Arjun
Reddy)
and
absolutely
loved
it.
It
just
so
happened
that
the
director
saw
my
performance
in
Dhoni
and
met
me.
Sandeep
(Vanga)
sir
was
the
one
who
saw
Preeti
in
me."
Kabir
Singh
Will
Be
More
Hard-Hitting
Than
Arjun
Reddy
Earlier
in
an
interview
with
Firstpost,
director
Sandeep
Vanga
revealed,
"When
I
made
Arjun
Reddy,
I
wasn't
sure
where
to
draw
the
line
in
terms
of
representation
of
certain
things.
I
don't
think
I'd
have
to
restrict
myself
when
it
comes
to
the
Hindi
version.
I
believe
I'll
have
more
freedom
in
Bollywood."
