Sandeep Vanga Shares Throwback Clip Featuring Shahid

Mumbai: Shahid Kapoor-starrer romantic drama ‘Kabir Singh’ has completed seven years since its release and to celebrate the occasion, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga shared a special post on social media. The filmmaker celebrated the milestone on Instagram by sharing a fight scene featuring actor Shahid Kapoor from the 2019 blockbuster. Along with the clip, Vanga wrote, “7 years of Kabir Singh.”

Fans soon flooded the comments section, revisiting their memories of the film and praising Shahid Kapoor’s performance. A fan commented, “Shahid Kapoor’s Career Best Performance.” Another wrote: “Waiting for Animal Park x Spirit.” Many users also asked the director to update him about his upcoming movie ‘Spirit’ starring Prabhas and Triptii Dimri. Released in 2019, ‘Kabir Singh’ starred Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani in the lead roles. Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the film was the Hindi remake of the Telugu hit ‘Arjun Reddy’. While ‘Kabir Singh’ emerged as one of the biggest box office successes of the year, it also sparked controversy, with some critics accusing the film of glorifying toxic behavior and misogyny.

Vanga later directed ‘Animal’, which released in 2023 and stars Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna and Triptii Dimri. The film performed strongly at the box office. Meanwhile, Shahid Kapoor is currently seen in ‘Cocktail 2’, which also stars Rashmika Mandanna and Kriti Sanon. According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film crossed the Rs 50 crore mark in its opening weekend, becoming one of the few Hindi films of 2026 to achieve this feat. Directed by Homi Adajania, the film is a spiritual sequel to the 2012 hit ‘Cocktail’.
