Kabir Khan’s ambitious film 83 starring Ranveer Singh as
Kapil Dev, is based on India’s victory at the World Cup in the year 1983 and
has been creating quite a buzz since its announcement. Two days back,
Ranveer Singh’s pictures with his director, Kabir Khan and Master Blaster,
Sachin Tendulkar posing at Lord’s, London went viral.
The latest update on the film is that Ranveer will begin
his prep sessions with former captain, Kapil Dev in the month of November. His
training will be month-long, where the actor will polish not just his cricket
skills but also minutely read into Kapil’s Dev’s body language.
Ranveer Singh, along with picking up the cricket legend’s
signature outswinger, also has the humongous task of picking up the cricketer’s
special mannerisms. While talking to Mid-day, the co-producer of the film
Vishnu Induri revealed, ‘Ranveer will start prepping from November. Kabir and he are in touch with Kapil,
who will fly down to Mumbai for a week in November to help Ranveer prep for the
role." The producer further added that they will finalize the remaining
cast who will essay the other team members in the next few months for them to
join the preparation for the film. Reportedly, every actor will be
spending quality time with the respective cricketers. The members of the '83
team have also come on board as consultants.
