Here's what Adil Hussain said about working in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Kabir Singh
For the unversed, in a recent interview with the AP podcast, Adil recalled walking out of the theaters while watching Kabir Singh. He said, “That’s the only film in my life that I have done without reading the script, without seeing the movie which it is based on.” Adil said that he went to watch the film in a theater after the release and walked out in 20 minutes. “I regret it till today. The only movie I have regretted doing is that film… Kabir Singh.”
He further expressed his belief by stating that Kabir Singh was a movie that didn't treat women well and made him feel bad about himself. He talked about the director, saying that while people can make any movie they want, he doesn't have to agree with them.
Furthermore, the English Vinglish actor recalled that he didn’t have the time to read the full script and the makers had sent him the script of Arjun Reddy instead. He also confessed to telling his manager to negotiate for more money in order to discourage them from casting him, but that didn't happen.
Adil recalled, 'I told my manager, ask for a lot of money, they'll probably say no, but they agreed, so I went ahead and did it,' he explained. 'I liked the scene I did; it was a good scene, so I assumed the film would also be good. But when I went to watch the film, I thought, 'What am I doing here?' You have no idea how embarrassed I felt.'
He went on to further mention that he was scared if his wife would see the movie, he would be embarrassed to the core.
