Shahid Kapoor went on to have his career’s biggest hit in the form of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Kabir Singh that was an official Hindi remake of Telugu hit Arjun Reddy that starred Vijay Deverakonda in the lead. Shahid’s aggressive avatar was loved by the audience and today at the trailer launch event of his upcoming film Jersey, he revealed that he went like a beggar to everybody after the release of Kabir Singh.
At the trailer launch event of Jersey, Shahid said, “After Kabir Singh released, I went like a beggar to everybody. I have been working for 18 years and finally a film of mine did such big business. I was very uncomfortable thinking about what should I do next after Kabir Singh. Some asked me to play college boy, some asked me to play an aggressive character again. I heard this story and it stayed with me. I saw this film 2 weeks before Kabir Singh was released and I cried buckets. I saw it with Mira and my manager and they were both looking at me.”
