Sharing his feeling, director-producer Kabir Khan said, “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”.

He added, “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 finalizing the script.”

All the producers are feeling very much proud to bring those magical moments back through this film. While Ranveer is on the seventh sky to stepping into the shoes of legendary cricketer Kapil Dev. He told, “I was born at the time when cricket was big time. When Kabir Sahab had come to me and said that there will be a film on 83, I was like finally. And when he was narrating it to me, I was like woooh”.

Earlier it was supposed to be a biopic of Kapil Dev, but no it’s not. It’s a sports film that follows how an then insignificant team India defeated West Indies the team of cricketing giants, under the captaincy of a new guy.
