Shahid Kapoor on Wednesday said one can draw comparisons between his latest "Kabir Singh" and classic "Devdas" as the two films revolve around self-destructive men in love.
The actor said being referred to as a "Modern Devdas" was a compliment for him.
Asked whether the film was a take on the novel by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay, Shahid told reporters, "I'll take that as a compliment because 'Devdas' is a classic film which is the story of a self-destructive man as the hero was mad about his love. So yes, if you look at it in a generic way, you can draw some parallels."
