Earlier, when Shahid was asked what prompted him to take up Arjun Reddy remake, he had said. "I usually don’t watch too many films in Telugu and it surprised me with its tonality, rawness, simplicity and the fact that it was so real and believable. The character is very fascinating for me as an actor because the emotional arc... is very original. I loved it and Vijay Deverakonda, who played Arjun, did it so well." While it's left to see how convincingly Shahid lives up to the original. The actor recently confessed, " I think Kabir Singh is very special and Arjun Reddy was amazing. As such it's very stressful making the remake, especially when it has been loved so much."

The film, which went on floors in August, will hit the big screens on June 21, this year.
