Shahid Kapoor believes that his upcoming project, Arjun Reddy, provides a great opportunity to him as an actor and he looks forward to start shooting for the film. The 2017 Telugu film, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and featuring Vijay Deverakonda and Shalini Pandey in the lead, was a major money-spinner at the box office.
The film faced criticism for being regressive. The critics, however, praised it for Deverakonda's portrayal of the title character. The Hindi remake, which will see Vanga return as the director, will feature Shahid as Arjun Reddy and the actor says the emotional arc of the role piqued his interest in the project.
