The teaser, which was released on Monday, puts the lens on different shades of Kabir, essayed by Shahid. It also marks the homecoming for Shahid in the intense sphere, which he has aced with projects like Kaminey, Haider and Udta Punjab.

Shahid's 'Kabir Singh' causes social media frenzy
Kabir Singh: From Mira Rajput To Alia Bhatt & Karan Johar, Celebs React To Shahid Kapoor & Kiara Advani’s Thrilling Teaser

The film is a remake of Telugu film Arjun Reddy. The remake is written and directed by Sandeep Vanga.

Over the course of the minute-long teaser, one can sense there is a reason behind Kabir’s anger and attitude issues. It shows different shades of Kabir — he was studious, he was in love, he was respectful of others’ feeling which is depicted with a scene in which he kisses Kiara Advani’s coy character and says ‘kissi ne dekha nahi (nobody saw it)’.

The teaser ends with strokes of three different colours depicting three different phases of Kabir’s life. One believes it will all be covered in the film.

Memes and dialogues from the teaser are already going viral on social media.

Shahid’s wife Mira shared the teaser on her Instagram account and captained it, “Boom #whattawowow.”

Pointing to Shahid’s “Udta Punjab” character, one user wrote: “Tommy Singh (to) Kabir Singh what a variation in drug addict characters. Shahid you are the king man… hope you get your due soon.”

Another shared: “Shahid Kapoor just nailed it. We thought no one would match the energy and attitude of Deverakonda but Shahid proved it wrong. His energy, attitude matched the character”.

One user commented: “You totally deserve it! You are the proverbial Phoenix of Bollywood…every time people write you off but you rise up again… stronger and more determined to deliver another mind-blowing performance.”

Overwhelmed by the reaction, Shahid tweeted: “To all of you who have given such an overwhelming reaction to the ‘Kabir Singh’ teaser, I am thankful from the bottom of my heart. Big love to you all. Keep it coming. Your love is the wind beneath my wings.”
