Shahid Kapoor extends thanks to Vijay Deverakonda with a kiss for 'Kabir Singh'

Shahid Kapoor expressed his gratitude to Vijay Deverakonda for Kabir Singh by kissing his cheek at an event.

Kabir Singh, starring Shahid Kapoor, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga is the Hindi remake of Vijay Deverakonda's Arjun Reddy.

In an Instagram video, Shahid spoke warmly about Vijay while leaning his head on the 34-year-old actor's arms, during the the Amazon Prime Video 2024 Title announcement event in Mumbai.

Shahid said, “I have to give him a lot of love. If there were no Arjun Reddy, there would be no Kabir Singh. Thank you, Vijay!”

The Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya actor also planted a kiss on Vijay's cheeks.

Furthermore, Shahid also hinted at the Khush actor's next film, saying “Now, that you are here and we all know about Arjun Reddy, I just want to ask you a simple question, ‘How has Arjun Reddy become a family man?'” 

On which, Vijay told, while gazing at his producer, “That’s all he came me! But I liked the script, so I picked it up.”

Earlier, during an exclusive interview with PinkVilla, Shahid reminisced that initially, he hadn't considered playing the role of Kabir Singh.

He revealed at that time, "It (Kabir Singh) is a remake, so I saw Arjun Reddy. Somebody had sent that to my house and I remember me and Mira were sitting and watching the movie. I saw the movie, and I was like ‘This is a damn cool movie, man!."

"This film has done everything that you’re not supposed to do in a movie. And still I’m loving this guy. He’s doing everything a nice guy is not supposed to do. This is so cool, how is this guy like this?’”
