"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. We can make it even more hard-hitting."

Arjun Reddy had Vijay Devarakonda playing the role of Arjun, a brilliant surgeon, who goes down the dark path of alcoholism and substance abuse after a failed relationship.

Meanwhile, the makers are yet to announce the female lead of the film. The original flick starred Shalini Pandey as Arjun's love interest Preeti.
