Though Shahid Kapoor has begun shooting for Kabir Singh, co-star Kiara Advani joined the unit in the last week of November. The Hindi remake of the 2017 Telugu film Arjun Reddy is being helmed by Sandeep Vanga who also directed the original.

After Lust Stories, Kiara has been making the right moves. The anthology film opened up new vistas for her. She has also been cast in Good News, which stars Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Diljit Dosanjh. She is now working with A-list stars — a far cry from her Fugly (2014) and Machine (2017) days.

The original film, starring Vijay and Shalini Pandey in the lead, revolves around a medical student who falls in love with his junior and how their relationship evolves. Kiara Advani plays the female lead in the film.

"When we started work on the Hindi script, it was a very exciting journey. 'Kabir Singh, as the protagonist's name, came naturally, considering the character's graph," Vanga said in a statement.

Shahid hopes the audience gives the film a lot of love. "'Arjun Reddy' was loved and appreciated. The film will be shot extensively in Mumbai, Delhi and Mussoorie. "It's all about taking 'Kabir Singh' to the next level," Vanga added.

The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Murad Khetani, Krishan Kumar and Ashwin Varde. Kabir Singh will be released will hit the silver screen on June 21, 2019.
