Kabir Khan who will be directing the upcoming sports film ’83’, has left for the Lord’s Cricket Ground in London to watch the upcoming Test Match between India and England. Kabir Khan has already completed the scripting of his upcoming film which is based on the 1983 cricket world cup of Team India. Ranveer Singh will portray the legendary cricketer Kapil Dev but the other cast has not been finalised.

Shouldered by the then captain Kapil Dev, who led the Indian cricket team to it’s maiden World Cup win, 1983’s World Cup is one of the most etched events in the minds of all the cricket fans.

35 years ago Kapil Dev stood exactly at this spot on this balcony and picked up the World Cup… and the whole of India along with it… #lords #locationscouting
