Arjun Kapoor to portray Kapil Dev onscreen?

The Gunday actor Arjun Kapoor will soon be seen as a cricketer in his next film. A film based on the 1983 World Cup that was won under the captaincy of Kapil Dev is being planned and the makers have zeroed onto the Tevar actor Arjun Kapoor to play the role of the legendary cricketer. Arjun Kapoor is considering the offer and is likely to say yes to it.

Sources said, “Arjun has been approached and he is contemplating. Vishnu Vardhan Induri, the founder and MD of CCL, who is planning the project, has already met the actor with the script. He has also approached actors for essaying the other characters but nothing has been finalised as of now. We will make an official announcement once everything is in place.”

The 1983 World Cup final was played between India and West Indies in which Kapil Dev played a magical knock, leading India to a historic victory.

First we had Sushant Singh Rajput depicting the role of MS Dhoni in a biopic. Now it is Arjun Kapoor all set to play Kapil Dev on big screen, seems like cricketers have become a hot favorite for Bollywood filmmakers.
