Finally, he thanked all those people who were associated with the film. “And it would just not have been possible without @kiaraaliaadvani , @sandeepreddy.vanga , @muradkhetani and @ashwinvarde @bhushankumar @santha_dop , Payal and so so many others. Thank you all once again. And remember. Keep it real and make it count. Be kind. Be good. Spread positivity. And always believe.”

Kabir Singh is the biggest solo hit of Shahid Kapoor and one of the biggest blockbuster of last year. The movie also raked controversy because of its misogynistic and toxic masculine protagonist.

Kabir Singh told the story of a young medical student with major alcoholism, substance, and temper issues. He falls in love with a fellow student but the affair goes awry. Unable to bear the loss of his lady love takes him spirally down into a web of drug and alcohol abuse. 

The film, directed by Sandeep Vanga (who also directed the original Arjun Reddy) also starred Kiara Advani as the film’s female lead.
