The Hindi version has Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani reprising their roles. Reportedly Prabhas had called on Shahid and spoke to him for about 7 minutes during which he had raved on the teaser and had said that he had liked Kabir Singh better than Arjun Reddy.
It was a complete surprise for Shahid to get a call from Prabhas as both are connected by common stylist Aalim Hakkim who had witnessed the call as he was on sets with Prabhas in Saaho, and as Prabhas was praising Shahid seeing the teaser, Aalim had called Shahid and gave the phone to Prabhas who showered praises. Even Vijay Deverakonda had himself praised Shahid Kapoor and the movie directed by Sandeep Vanga who directed the original releases on June 21.
