In Telugu hit Arjun Reddy remake Shahid Kapoor’s Kabir Singh is expected to imitate the original’s sexism, but the star says his character is vulnerable, not regressive
Q. Some have found Arjun Reddy’s gaze very problematic. How did you see it?
Many think they have watched Kabir Singh because they have watched Arjun Reddy. My interpretation was that there’s no sense of ownership in Kabir. It’s about when you can’t help but be drawn to someone. As much as aggression is the primary emotion that jumps out, I hope people will see that vulnerability is the most significant part of him.
Q. Kabir Singh is temperamental. What makes you angry?
Complacency. People who don’t give 100 per cent to the opportunity they get. When people get it easily, they don’t respect it. I have learned it the hard way.
Q. You are a teetotaller. What passed off as alcohol during the shoot?
Black tea was diluted to make it look like the same colour as whiskey.
Q. Your favourite remake?
Ghajini. It was remade by A.R. Murugadoss, who also did the original Tamil version. It was loved just as much and, in some cases, even more.
Q. What’s the craziest thing you have done post a break-up?
I don’t want to encourage such behaviour, but there was a phase when I’d just lie in bed, listen to all these soppy songs and cry to myself. Lucky Ali had the voice to reflect the mood.
