Sandeep Reddy Vanga took to X (Formerly Twitter) to criticise actor Adil Hussain for his recent comments about the 2019 film "Kabir Singh." Adil, who had a minor role in the movie, expressed regret and embarrassment about his involvement in it.

During a conversation with a podcast channel, Adil revealed that he initially showed disinterest in the film and instructed his agent to quote a substantial fee to dissuade the production house. Surprisingly, they agreed, prompting him to reluctantly accept the offer. Although the scene he filmed appeared promising, upon watching the movie, he found it unbearable and couldn't endure more than 20 minutes of it.

Sandeep chose to mock Adil's long filmography of ‘art films’ in his tweet. “Your 'belief' in 30 art films didn't get as much fame to you as your 'regret' of 1 BLOCKBUSTER film did. I regret casting you, knowing that your greed is bigger than ur passion. NOW I'll save you from the shame by replacing your face with AI help. Now smile properly,” he wrote.

Adil responded to Sandeep's reaction to his remarks, stating, "I'm currently in the US and haven't seen Sandeep's post, nor do I intend to. What I said about 'Kabir Singh' was in an interview, not on social media. I regret doing it and will not change my stance."
