Arjun Kapoor Bags Arjun Reddy Hindi Remake!
While Ranveer Singh is already on board the Hindi remake of Telugu film Temper, titled Simmba, he was also being considered to play the male lead in yet another Bollywood remake of Tollywood’s Arjun Reddy. The Padmaavat actor was the first choice of director Sandeep Vanga. However, due to his prior commitments, the Gully Boy couldn’t come on board. There were reports of Shahid Kapoor and Varun Dhawan also being considered. And now, fresh reports state that Arjun Kapoor has bagged the role in this dark entertainer.

A source told the leading daily, "Yes, it's true. Though it has taken three-four months of continuous and tireless efforts, the rights have worked out. Murad Khetani (producer) has officially bagged it but Arjun too put in his share of efforts to ensure that the rights came through."
"Arjun had worked on the profit-sharing basis in Ki & Ka (2016) as well but this time, he wants his involvement to be more pronounced. Considering the fact that Arjun Reddy got an A certificate, the Hindi version will also be a mature and sensitive film with an intense love story at its heart," further added the source.
