Shahid Kapoor on why he signed ‘Arjun Reddy’ remake

Telugu film ‘Arjun Reddy’ (2018) is getting a Hindi remake with Shahid Kapoor as male lead. The actor has spoken about the reason he took on the role.

“I wanted to try this part and see what I can do with this. I was curious enough to take it on and excited enough to not let it go,” said Kapoor, talking to Ahmedabad Mirror.

The actor went on to add, “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”.

The film will see Kapoor romancing Kiara Advani and is expected to roll next month.
