Kunal Thakur talks about his Kabir Singh co-star Shahid Kapoor

Kunal Thakur and Shahid Kapoor

Kunal Thakur, who plays Shahid Kapoor's friend in the upcoming drama, Kabir Singh, says shooting for the film was a fun ride.

Though Sasha plays a character with anger management issues in the remake of the Telugu film, Arjun Reddy, once the camera switched off, Sasha would be in his element. There was a lot of laughter and bonhomie on the set.

The two bonded over their love for electronic dance music. Though a relative newcomer, Thakur says the star was helpful and broke the ice with co-actors on day one when they began reading sessions.

The film features Shahid Kapoor as a surgeon, a jilted lover and someone with tremendous anger management issues. Kiara Advani plays the character of Preeti, Shahid's love interest in the film. Their chemistry literally sparks a fire onscreen, and their pairing has also been loved by the audience.

Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Shahid and Kiara's chemistry has intrigued the audience for more. While Shahid plays a self-destructive personality, his performance has been widely applauded in the trailer. The song is sung by Sachet Tandon.

Kabir Singh, a T-Series and Cine1 Studios presentation, is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Murad Khetani, Krishan Kumar and Ashwin Varde. The Film releases on June 21, 2019.
