Talking to Dainik Bhasker, Sandeep Reddy Vanga revealed that after the release of his Telugu film Arjun Reddy, Ranbir Kapoor had texted him. Unfortunately, the filmmaker missed it as it was an SMS. As per the Kabir Singh director, he had stopped checking his text messages regularly as most of the communication occurs on Whatsapp.

“He (Ranbir Kapoor) SMSed me. Ever since WhatsApp has come, the habit of checking SMS has gone. I stopped checking SMS because everyone uses WhatsApp. Ranbir actually showed me the message also I think. Like this, I have missed a lot of people’s messages. Anil ji, Anil Kapoor had also messaged,” the filmmaker shared. Later when asked if there was a possibility of Ranbir being in the Hindi remake of Sandeep’s Kabir Singh. The director instantly replied, “No, Ranbir very clearly said that he wouldn’t do a remake. So, I knew.”
