TIL Desk Bollywood/ Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor, who will play the title role in the Hindi remake of Telugu blockbuster “Arjun Reddy”, says he was both curious and excited about the movie. “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.”The “Batti Gul Meter Chalu” actor said he thoroughly enjoyed “Arjun Reddy” as a viewer. “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,” Shahid told. Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the remake will go on floors next month. The original film, starring Vijay and Shalini Pandey in the lead, revolves around a medical student who falls in love with his junior and how their relationship evolves.
