The movie ’83 is the story of those 14 men who believed that they could and finally did it. Director Kabir Khan who has already scripted the movie says, “As a young schoolboy when I watched India win the 1983 Cricket World Cup I had no idea that from that day onwards Cricket in India will change forever. As a filmmaker, for me, the journey to that win, filled with raw energy and sheer passion of that young Indian team, is probably one of the most exciting stories I have worked on. And it’s great to have Ranveer come on board to play Kapil Dev, as honestly, I could see no one else for the role, ever since I started finalising the script.”
’83 will be shot in the real locations and will make the youngsters celebrate the milestone in the history of Indian Cricket which happened when many were not even born. Vikramaditya Motwane of Phantom Films said, “’83 is the greatest Indian underdog sports story ever and we’re delighted to be making it with Kabir and Ranveer.”
