Shahid
Kapoor
says
one
can
draw
comparisons
between
his
latest
Kabir
Singh
and
classic
Devdas
as
the
two
films
revolve
around
self-destructive
men
in
love.
The
actor
said
being
referred
to
as
a
Modern
Devdas
was
a
compliment
for
him.
Asked
whether
the
film
was
a
take
on
the
novel
by
Sarat
Chandra
Chattopadhyay,
Shahid
told
reporters,
"I'll
take
that
as
a
compliment
because
'Devdas'
is
a
classic
film
which
is
the
story
of
a
self-destructive
man
as
the
hero
was
mad
about
his
love.
So
yes,
if
you
look
at
it
in
a
generic
way,
you
can
draw
some
parallels."
"I
think
the
character
of
Kabir
in
the
film
loves
with
full
passion
and
when
his
heart
breaks,
he
feels
lost
and
becomes
self-destructive.
It
is
difficult
to
hate
the
girl
but
yes,
I
think
he
starts
hating
himself,"
he
added.
The
film's
female
lead,
Kiara
Advani,
said
Kabir
Singh
was
not
a
perfect
love
story.
"There
are
some
strengths
in
every
person
and
so
there
are
some
weaknesses.
None
of
us
are
perfect.
We
all
have
our
good
qualities
and
our
bad
qualities.
But
that
doesn't
make
us
bad
people.
"The
characters
of
Kabir
and
Preeti
as
well,
whatever
they
are
going
through
in
their
life,
it
is
the
situation,
the
circumstances.
It
is
not
a
perfect
love
story.
I
mean
all
of
us
have
experienced
love
at
some
points
of
our
life.
But
it
is
never
so
easy
and
so
perfect
and
that
is
why
the
film
is
so
relatable," Kiara
said.
Director
Sandeep
Vanga
Reddy,
the
film
is
the
Hindi
remake
of
the
director's
Telugu
blockbuster
Arjun
Reddy.
The
film
is
slated
to
be
released
on
Friday.
