Casting Shahid Kapoor as Kabir Singh was a huge concern, says Sandeep Reddy Vanga
Kabir Singh is the first 100 crore film of Shahid Kapoor, and before that, he didn’t achieve the box office success that made it a 100 crore club, and this was the concern for Vanga." Shahid’s track record was a concern; none of his solo films had done Rs 100 crore then; his highest was Rs 65 crore. They used to say Rs 55 crore, Rs 65 crore is the kind of business Telugu movies do. ‘Why are you doing it with this guy? If it were Ranveer, the box office would be higher’. But I was always sure about Shahid; he’s a fantastic actor." Right now, Sandeep Reddy Vanga is gearing up for his second film in Bollywood with Ranbir Kapoor, and it’s Animal.
