The film subsequently won him positive reviews, while his follow up in Kick 2 (2015) was equally appreciated.{{cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/Right-from-the-start-I-wanted-to-work-in-south-films-Kabir/articleshow/47095596.cms|title=Right from the start, I wanted to work in south films: Kabir|work=The Times of India|accessdate=1 November 2015|last1=Prabhakar|first1=Jyothi|archive-date=21 October 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161021114234/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/Right-from-the-start-I-wanted-to-work-in-south-films-Kabir/articleshow/47095596.cms|url-status=live}} In order to maintain the high quality of his acting roles, Kabir chose to carefully analyse his characters before committing to roles and turned down other ventures which would have seen him portray the protagonist as well as a role in Bengal Tiger (2015). The actor then made his debut in Tamil films by portraying a villain in Siva's revenge drama Vedalam (2015), which had Ajith Kumar in the lead role.{{cite web|url=http://www.ibnlive.com/news/movies/ajith-kumar-is-a-gem-of-a-person-kabir-duhan-singh-1088851.html|title=Ajith Kumar is a gem of a person: Kabir Duhan Singh|work=IBNLive|accessdate=1 November 2015|archive-date=12 October 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151012181813/http://www.ibnlive.com/news/movies/ajith-kumar-is-a-gem-of-a-person-kabir-duhan-singh-1088851.html|url-status=dead}}
