People are desperately waiting for the movie Kabir Singh after its breathtaking teaser released.
Bollywood on-screen actor Shahid Kapoor will be seen as a rebel with a broken heart in Kabir Singh, which is an official Hindi redo of Telugu blockbuster Arjun Reddy. In the film’s teaser which was revealed on Monday, we saw Shahid in a lean symbol.
The performing artist is known to get into the skin of his characters. As per the producers, he has shed more than 14 kilos to fit in the role of a young medical student.
Shahid Kapoor’s traine Samir Jaura shared insights regarding the physical change that Shahid experienced for his two particular looks in the film.
Samir said, “It was the first time since Ishq Vishk (2003) that Shahid would be seen as a college goer. So, I put him on a strict 1400-1500 calorie a day diet, along with extensive cardio sessions to achieve a lean look.”
Shahid Kapoor also had to completely change his regime for the second half of the film which sees the protagonist set out on a self-destructive path after losing the love of his life.
To ensure Shahid looks like a puffy, groggy alcoholic, Samir shared, “We had to design his workout in such a way that he looks bigger but not muscular. The original character is a doctor, so it would be inauthentic to have a doctor with six-pack abs.”
Kiara Advani will be seen playing Shahid’s love in the movie. The film is helmed by Sandeep Vanga. The first film had highlighted Tollywood heartthrob Vijay Deverakonda in the main job.
Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Murad Khetani, Krishna Kumar and Ashwin Varde, Kabir Singh will release on June 21.
