Ranveer Singh also received lots of praise from celebs. Shikhar Dhawan, Ayushmann Khurrana , director Shashank Khaitan wrote swooning comments on the picture.

According to a report by HT, Ranveer had spent 10 days at Kapil Dev’s residence in Delhi to understand the finer nuances of his personality. He had received training from the cricketer himself during the boot camp in Dharamshala. Kapil had told Hindustan Times in an interview, “His commitment and passion. These two traits in him are what strikes an onlooker at the first go. He will be at something repeatedly and won’t let go till he feels he’s mastered it, despite others telling him it’s acceptable. Just acceptable is not okay. It has to be excellent.”
