Janhvi Kapoor who was last seen in the film alongside Ishaan Khatter in Dhadak opened up about Shahid Kapoor starrer Kabir Singh. Helmed by Sandeep Vanga Reddy, it is the Telugu remake of Arjun Reddy. In an interaction with Neha Dhupia on her chat show, No Filter Neha, she lent her thoughts on the controversy surrounding the film and said, "I loved Kabir Singh. I understand people’s concerns. I think cinema in our country plays such a big part in creating an impression on the minds of the general public, so I understand why people feel that it might encourage men to act a certain way. But it’s art! It’s not supposed to cater to societal norms, and what is right and what is wrong.". She then went on to add, "Art is supposed to make you uncomfortable. At least it started a conversation. That’s the point of films like these."
