Actor Shahid Kapoor has said his character in 'Kabir Singh' was a "modern aggressive version" of Shah Rukh Khan's character in the 2002 film 'Devdas'. "It is a man who destroys himself out of love for someone...The only difference is that man is reactive, aggressive," he added. 'Kabir Singh' was a remake of the 2017 Telugu film 'Arjun Reddy'.
