The movie, Kabir Singh can easily be called a milestone in the career of actor Shahid Kapoor because it not only gave him a great comeback after a series of flops but it also made him realise that making things overly complicated is of no use.
Kabir Singh was one of the biggest hits of the year 2019 and fans are quite eager to see its sequel but when Shahid Kapoor was asked about it during an event, he replied, “Jab ladke ko ladki mil jaati hai tab kya kahenge kahaani me?…Everybody says Kabir Singh 2, Kabir Singh 2, but Priti mil gayi. Ab main kya karun?” (Now when the boy has got the girl, then what will they tell in the story? Everybody says Kabir Singh 2 but he got Priti. So what should I do now?)
As the movie was a remake of the Telugu movie, Arjun Reddy, Shahid Kapoor revealed that he watched the remake and loved it but he didn’t want to do it. However he chose to do it because his wife Mira Rajput convinced him to work in the movie. He stated, “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? My first answer was ‘no way am I doing this movie.’ Because this guy is a newcomer and he has done such a good job.”
He added, “So I was like this guy has done his first film. I have worked in so many movies. The way he personifies this character, I don’t know if I’ll be able to because people have already seen me in many different characters. And I finished my whole gyaan (knowledge), saying that ‘this is my reason, Mira. Mujhe ye film nahi karni chahiye. (I shouldn’t do this film)’. She just kept looking at me and after 5 minutes she was like ‘just shut up and do it. It’s the perfect film for you’. I was like ‘really?’, she was like ‘Yeah. People love to see you in love stories, people love to see you in messed-up characters. This has both! Just do it!’ Her thinking was so simple and I had overcomplicated it for myself and I guess it was good I did Kabir Singh.”
Well, listening to your wife is certainly beneficial, what do you say?
