Here’s why Sajid Nadiadwala gave away the rights to Shahid Kapoor’s ‘Kabir Singh’

Sajid Nadiadwala who is riding high on back-to-back successes of ‘Super 30’ and now ‘Chhichhore’, spoke to one of the leading digital portals on why the filmmaker gave away the rights of Shahid Kapoor starrer ‘Kabir Singh’.

Talking to the portal about acquiring the rights of ‘Arjun Reddy’ and ‘RX 100’, Sajid Nadiadwala said, “I bought the rights of two films, ‘Arjun Reddy’ and ‘RX 100’. I have never made an adult certified film in my life, so when I saw it, I loved the film but I had issues with a lot of scenes. Murad Khetani is a very good friend of mine, so I gave him the rights of ‘Arjun Reddy’ as a gift. Murad also loved the film a lot and when I gave him the rights of the film, I told him that this film will cross Rs. 100 crores at the box office and I was honestly not aware that it will do this kind of business.”

Of course, Sajid didn’t anticipate the massive success of ‘Kabir Singh’. The film has gone on to break numerous records at the box-office and is still at the top of highest-grossing films this year. Shahid Kapoor, Kiara Advani and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga are on cloud nine thanks to this massive blockbuster of a film.

Speaking further about ‘RX 100’, Sajid Nadiadwala said, “‘RX 100’ has the same kind of passion and people even say that the characterization of the protagonists in both the films is very similar. ‘RX 100’ is a cult film and the action in it is very intense showing how madly in love the lead actor is. I might be one of the only producers who has launched both the father (Suniel Shetty) and son (Ahan Shetty).”

With his upcoming films including ‘Kick 2’, ‘Housefull 4’ and ‘Baaghi 3’ in the pipeline, Sajid Nadiadwala will surely be making some of the biggest grosser of the coming months.
