Sandeep Reddy Vanga, after making waves in Tollywood with ‘Arjun Reddy’, took Bollywood by storm with his films ‘Kabir Singh’ and ‘Animal’. Both movies were commercial successes but also sparked debates due to the portrayal of their protagonists.
Criticism came from both industry insiders and the public. The controversy surrounding ‘Animal’ led to heated exchanges on social media involving Sandeep Reddy, Javed Akhtar, and others. Amidst this, Adil Hussain’s remarks on ‘Kabir Singh’ have caught fire online.
Adil Hussain, known for his roles in critically acclaimed and popular films, expressed regret over his involvement in ‘Kabir Singh’, where he played the father of the lead character.
He initially hesitated to join the project. Hoping a higher fee demand would deter the offer, he demanded more remuneration.
He was given what he asked and he acted in the film. However, he also said that he didnt even want his wife to watch such a movie and also admitted about walking out of the theater when he watched the movie with a friend.
Sandeep Reddy responded sharply to Adil’s comments, suggesting that Adil gained more recognition from one commercial hit than from thirty art films.
He expressed regret over casting Adil, as he understood that he is greed more than passion.
Sandeep mentioned plans to use AI technology to replace Adil’s appearance in the film, thus removing any cause for embarrassment.
