Ranveer`s Kapil Dev Biopic |
Bollywood isn`t new for making biopics, especially on sports personalities. Now, Ranveer Singh will be playing the former cricket ace Kapil Dev on screen. The film titled `83 has officially been announced and is a nod to the year in which the Indian cricket team brought the World Cup home. Kabir Khan, the man to direct the film, claims he couldn`t imagine anyone else other than Ranveer in the capacity of Kapil Dev. “It`s great to have Ranveer come on board to play Kapil Dev, as honestly, he could see no one else for the role, ever since he started finalising the script. The film will be helmed by Kabir Khan and will be a joint production of Phantom Films, Vishnu Vardhan Induri of Vibri Media, Reliance Entertainment and Kabir Khan Films. `83` will tell the story of the winning squad that comprised players such as Kapil Dev, Mohinder Amarnath, Sunil Gavaskar, Kirti Azad, Yashpal Sharma, Krishnamachari Srikkanth, Roger Binny, Balwinder Singh Sandhu, Sandeep Patil, Syed Kirmani, Madan Lal, Ravi Shastri, Dilip Vengsarkar & Sunil Valson, and their manager P R Man Singh. More exciting is to know which actor will play which character. The 1983 Prudential Cup is a celebratory milestone in the history of Indian cricket. The final was played between India and West Indies at the Lord`s Cricket Ground in London on June 25.
