Kabir Singh Diaries: Shahid Kapoor Thought Vijay Deverakonda's Arjun Reddy Would Be A Massy Movie
In his latest interview with HT, when Shahid Kapoor was asked did he has any apprehensions before taking it up Kabir Singh, he said, “The remake rights were up for grabs."
In
his
latest
interview
with
HT,
when
Shahid
Kapoor
was
asked
did
he
has
any
apprehensions
before
taking
it
up
Kabir
Singh,
he
said,
"The
remake
rights
were
up
for
grabs.
So,
people
wanted
to
find
an
actor
who
would
be
interested.
I
was
sure
that
it's
a
south
remake;
and
so
you
have
preconceived
notions
ki
bahut
massy
hogi."
The
actor
further
revealed
how
his
perception
changed
after
watching
the
film.
"But,
when
I
saw
it
I
was
surprised.
It
was
raw,
unfiltered
and
not
trying
to
be
all
nice
and
happy.
It
had
a
fresh
energy
to
it."
"The
Hindi
audience
can
see
this
film,
because
when
I
saw
it,
I
never
felt
that
I
couldn't
connect
to
it.
Of
course,
there
were
thoughts
like
'what
if
it
doesn't
turn
out
to
be
so
good?'.
But
my
only
condition
was
that
the
same
director
(Sandeep
Vanga)
made
it,
and
that's
what
happened," said
Shahid
Kapoor.
When
asked
if
the
role
affected
him
in
anyway,
Shahid
said,
"I
had
to
undergo
a
physical
transformation,
and
my
state
of
mind
needed
to
go
from
a
happy
family
man
to
a
self-destructive
crazy
doctor.
It
was
a
lot
to
deal
with
both
physically
and
mentally."
In
the
same
interview,
Shahid
also
spoke
about
his
kids
-
Misha
and
Zain
and
said
that,
"My
kids
are
like
energiser
bunnies.
They
are
full
of
positive
energy.
I
don't
need
anything
else.
I
spend
time
with
them,
and
I
am
fine."
Kabir
Singh
is
all
set
to
hit
the
theatres
on
this
Friday
i.e.,
June
21,
2019.
