Kabir Singh is a remake of Telugu blockbuster  Arjun Reddy , starring  Vijay Deverakonda  and Shalini Pandey. Kabir Singh follows a young, successful surgeon played by Kapoor, who turns to a life of drugs and alcohol after his college sweetheart marries another man. The film also stars Kamini Kaushal, Suresh Oberoi, Arjan Bajwa, and Adil Hussain.

Recently, the film’s director,  Sandeep Vanga Reddy , was criticised for defending the film’s endorsement of toxic masculinity and violence against women. Defending his film against such criticism, Vanga  said  in a recent interview, “If you can’t slap, if you can’t touch your woman wherever you want, I don’t see any emotion there. (sic)” He also took aim at his critics calling them “parasites  who are the real threat to the film industry”.
