Shahid Kapoor in a recent interview with a leading news channel revealed that Kabir Singh led to discussion about violent relationships. Kabir Singh drew grave criticism from a section of audience who objected the character of Shahid (Kabir) slapping Kiara Advani (Preeti) in the film. It also raised serious questions on Sandeep Vanga's directorial instincts. Fans across social media platforms slammed the director for portraying a misogynistic film. This led to another controversy when Vanga in an interview dubbed the slap scene as an act of love. However, now Shahid Kapoor told that Kabir Singh led people to develop opinions about violent relationships.
Several feminist groups staged protest against the film and demanded an apology from filmmakers. They also questioned Preeti Sikka for accepting a role which portrays weaker side of women. Shahid Kapoor defended the film during every discussion and claimed that the film was very well made. Kabir Singh made 379 crore across the globe to gain second spot at the box office with this huge collection. Several Bollywood insiders also defended the filmmaker by claiming that the audience have loved the film. Well, it depends on the perspective of the audience.
During the interview, Shahid Kapoor said that he did not have a problem with people disliking the film. The entire idea of doing such cinema was to make people create opinions. Films with effective story line can lead to such reactions and Kabir Singh was one such film. He feels that the movie brought out the topic of violent relationships. He claimed that a film can never always be talking about right things. If it does then it would be hypocritical for the filmmakers. He wants filmmakers to talk about real issues rather than delivering false narratives.
Kabir Singh is a remake of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Telugu film Arjun Reddy. Actors Vijay Deverakonda, Shalini Pandey, Jia Sharma, Kanchana were part of this film. It made 51 crores at the box office.
