The film was also a victim of piracy as it was leaked online by Tamilrockers  just hours after it hit the theatres. However, the leak does not seem to have affected its earnings drastically. Kabir Singh is a remake of Telugu blockbuster _Arjun Reddy_ , originally starring Vijay Deverakonda and Shalini Pandey. Sandeep Reddy Vanga, wrote and directed the original, has also helmed the Hindi version. 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.
