And now, Ranveer is all set to play legendary cricketer Kapil Dev on screen in director Kabir Khan’s ’83. The movie is based on India’s first ever cricket world cup win in the year 1983. The actor is even taking cricket classes where he is learning the minute aspects of the sport.

And now, you must be wondering as to what relation does the leading lady of our title, Katrina Kaif have with Ranveer Singh and ’83. And that is exactly what we are going to reveal to you because apparently Katrina has expressed interest in Ranveer, but not in the sense you may think of. Read on.

If latest reports are to be believed then actress Katrina Kaif has shown her interest to be part of the Kabir Khan directed biopic. The actress is keen to play Ranveer Singh’s on-screen wife in the movie. Earlier too, the lady had expressed the desire to work with the actor as she was impressed with his acting prowess and box office presence. However, sadly there was no script on which they could work together.

A report in Deccan Chronicle states the same. As per the source, “When Katrina expressed keenness to be cast opposite Ranveer Singh, who plays Kapil in Kabir Khan’s ’83, the filmmaker — who is also a close friend of Kat’s — expressed doubts about her inability to speak Hindi convincingly enough to look Punjabi. Katrina, who has never before bothered to improve her Hindi, has taken up the challenge to sound convincing as Mrs. Kapil Dev.”

Going by these reports, Katrina is working on her Hindi and Punjabi diction to fit into the role. It will be interesting if Kabir ropes in Karina for the film as the two have collaborated together in the past over three projects and they all showed Kat’s acting finesse like no one else.

Well, this would be one fresh jodi to look forward to if Katrina indeed manages to grab the part opposite Ranveer in this one.
