7 Years of Arjun Reddy – Throwback to the time Shahid Kapoor praised Vijay Deverakonda saying “Naa Arjun Reddy bani hoti, naa Kabir Singh paida hota”!

As ‘Arjun Reddy’ turns seven, we revisit a significant moment when actor Shahid Kapoor, who later portrayed the lead role in the film’s Hindi remake ‘Kabir Singh’, expressed his gratitude to the original "Arjun Reddy," Vijay Deverakonda. Shahid acknowledged the importance of Vijay’s role, saying, “I have to give him a lot of love. Naa Arjun Reddy bani hoti, naa Kabir Singh paida hota (If Arjun Reddy was not made then Kabir Singh would not be born). Thank you, Vijay!” The heartfelt remark not only reflected Shahid’s respect for Vijay’s performance but also underlined the influence of ‘Arjun Reddy’ in paving the way for its Hindi remake.

Interestingly, while Shahid brought a Vijay Deverakonda film to Hindi audiences, Vijay’s upcoming film ‘VD12’ seems to subtly mirror Shahid Kapoor’s intense look in ‘Haider’, drawing a fascinating parallel between these two powerhouse actors who’ve given life to such compelling characters.
