The confusion about the final decision on the male cast

Apparently, there was a major confusion with respect to the casting of the male lead as Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor were earlier shortlisted for the role. In 2017, Vanga had mentioned that he wanted to remake the movie with Ranveer Singh. But after that plan fell through, the producers wanted Arjun Kapoor to play the lead. In the meantime, Vanga had already given his word to Shahid Kapoor. But in the end, all worked out for the best, and Vanga finally announced in 2018 that they have finalised Shahid for the role.

The difference between Arjun Reddy and Kabir Singh

The shoot locations of Kabir Singh varied from that of Arjun Reddy. Kabir Singh was shot in Delhi and Mumbai, unlike Arjun Reddy which was shot in Hyderabad majorly, Kabir Singh's script didn't see a caste conflict like it was seen in Arjun Reddy. Vanga also made sure that he used the Hindi language more and less of English words in the Hindi remake. 

Kiara Advani may not have played 'Preeti'

According to reports, Kiara Advani may not have got the role of Preeti as Tara Sutaria was also in the talks for the female lead. Tara couldn't work in the film after her debut movie's production got delayed. Vanga finally mentioned that they got lucky as Kiara got finalised as she embodied the perfect innocence that the character Preeti required.
