Bollywood’s lively actor Ranveer Singh has signed Kapil
Dev’s biopic, Kabir Khan’s next directorial endeavor titled '83. He has lately
wrapped Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmavati has started preparation for his next,
Gully Boy.
The actor who has an interesting line up of movies spoke to
a tabloid about his role in 83 and told, “I remember when Kabir came to me with
the movie, I was like, ‘chalo, it’s great that finally, someone wants – and is
planning to – make a mainstream Hindi film on the 1983 World Cup victory. I
think since I was born in 1985, I always thought that someone must tell the
story of our [world cup] winning story in a sports film.”
“Yes, it is one of the greatest sports stories ever about
how a bunch of underdogs – who nobody thought anything of – were banded
together, got galvanised by their leader and they went on to win the world cup.
It infused the nation with a lot of pride and was clearly a turning point in
our sports history. I wasn’t aware that 1983 victory turned the tide because I
thought, ‘cricket has always been a huge sport in our country,” Ranveer further
added.
About transforming himself into Kapil Dev, he revealed, “Bas
woh bowling action aa jaaye (I wish I get his bowling action correct). I hope
Kapil sir himself gives me some training and tips. It will be absolutely
fantastic. It goes without saying that the physical transformation is going to
be an important part.”
