The film is directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and produced by Bhushan Kumar, Murad Khetani, Krishan Kumar, and Ashwin Varde.

Shahid earlier spoke about how he had to smoke cigarettes , beedis and pretend to snort cocaine for a major part of the film. “I don’t endorse smoking at all. However, the role required it, as the protagonist uses it to channel his angst and rage. It wasn’t easy, and it came to a point where I smoked almost 20 cigarettes a day. It would take me close to two hours to shower and get rid of the smells before I could return home to my children.”

Kabir Singh  is scheduled to hit the theatres on 21 June, this year.
