Vanita has also appeared in Marathi projects such as Vicky Velingkar (2019) and Maharashtrachi Hasya Jatra (2018), among others.
Kabir Singh, the Hindi remake of Telugu hit Arjun Reddy, became the Bollywood hit of 2019, making over Rs 370 crore (£37 million) worldwide.
Vanita had reunited with Kabir Singh co-star Shahid at the Star Screen Awards in 2019 and shared pictures with the actor:
Kabir Singh had received mixed reviews, however, with criticism directed at it for glamorising misogyny and toxic masculinity.
In 2021, Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor has reportedly signed his first web series marking the actor’s first step into the digital space.
The actor has allegedly signed an action thriller, which will be directed by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK.
The makers are yet to make a formal announcement of the same.
