Shahid Kapoor Takes Kabir Singh And Devdas Comparison as Compliment

Actor Shahid Kapoor, who is gearing up for the release of his next movie Kabir Singh, has reacted to the comparison that was drawn between the upcoming movie and classic Devdas. Both movies have storylines that revolve around men who are in love and become self-destructive.

While talking to reporters, Shahid was asked if Kabir Singh was a take on the novel Devdas by Bengali novelist and short story writer Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay.

“I’ll take that as a compliment because Devdas is a classic film which is the story of a self-destructive man as the hero was mad about his love. So yes, if you look at it in a generic way, you can draw some parallels,” he said about the comparison.
