Director Kabir had exclusively told ETimes, “You know, 83 is a big responsibility for me. I knew if I don’t recreate this correctly, the country will not forgive me. Ditto for Ranveer: If he won’t portray Kapil correctly, the audience will not forgive him. And as you see from the trailer, he has done it brilliantly. He worked very hard.”
’83 stars Ranveer Singh in the role of former Indian captain Kapil Dev, who led the winning squad. ETimes has exclusively learnt that Mohinder Amarnath, who was the vice-captain of the winning team, will be a part of the sports entertainer. He will not be essaying himself in ’83, but will be seen playing the role of his father Lala Amarnath.
The film is set to hit the big screen on December 24.
