Satish Kaushik has said that Kabir Singh is an ‘adapted copy’ of his film Tere Naam. In a new interview, he also revealed what Salman Khan said about the film. Both films have been criticised for portraying misogyny and toxic masculinity.
Tere Naam (2003) was written by Bala and Jainendra Jain. The film is a remake of Bala’s own Tamil film Sethu (1999) which starred Chiyaan Vikram. In 2011, Satish had announced a sequel to Tere Naam.
Salman Khan has compared Kabir Singh to Tere Naam. He said making the same film and getting the same performance out of him will be difficult. Salman always said the film is good and will definitely work. But the character sends a wrong message in it.
Filmmaker Anupam Kher has described Tere Naam as a love story where the main character is trying to tell the girl that he loves her and he is not ready to take no from her. “That’s the culture in small cities today, where a guy ends up running after a girl”.
