Filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s filmography has always received mixed reactions. In 2019, the director remade his hit movie Arjun Reddy in Hindi with Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor, titled Kabir Singh. The movie earned millions throughout its worldwide theatrical run. However, many found the movie’s theme to be misogynistic and problematic, and actor Adil Hussain is among them.
Hussain played a medical college’s dean in the movie but now regrets being a part of it. The actor admitted during his appearance on the AP Podcast YouTube channel that he agreed to play the part without reading the script. As a result, he was shocked to watch the movie when it came out.
He said, “I regret it till today. The only movie I have regretted doing is that film… Kabir Singh.” Adil Hussain continued to reveal how he felt embarrassed after watching the movie. He added that he could not ask his wife to watch the movie as she would be very angry.

Adil Hussain’s comments on Kabir Singh did not sit well with filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga as he recently reacted to it. Bashing Hussain’s comments, Vanga claimed that the former received a lot of fame with the romance drama.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), he wrote, “Ur ‘belief’ in 30 art films didn’t get as much fame to u as ur ‘regret’ of 1 BLOCKBUSTER film did.”
The Animal director further confirmed that he would replace Adil Hussain’s face with the help of Artificial Intelligence. He wrote, “I regret casting u, knwing that ur greed is bigger than ur passion. NOW I’ll save U from the shame by replacing Ur face with AI help. Now smile properly.”
Adil is yet to respond to Vanga’s tweet about replacing him in the movie.
