Shahid Kapoor's latest offering to the world is Kabir Singh, the official remake of Arjun Reddy. After the first day of its rune, Kabir Singh has turned out to be a landmark film in Shahid's career. It is his biggest solo opener ever. The movie has earned a whopping amount of Rs 20.21 crore on Friday. Shahid certainly needed this big win. His last release Batti Gul Meter Chalu did not have an impressive run. His solo release before BGMC was Shandaar and, well, Shahid really needed Kabir Singh. The actor did have Padmaavat in between which might be the biggest opener of his career. But the Sanjay Leela Bhansali movie gave more attention to its other two leads, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone- a fact that was admitted by Shahid, himself, on Koffee with Karan.
Well, we hope Shahid keeps on scoring big with his upcoming movies. For now, we are going to look back at how all the solo movies of Shahid have fared at the box office on opening day. Arjun Reddy Fame Vijay Deverakonda Has a Message For 'Kabir Singh' Shahid Kapoor! Read Tweet.
