Katrina Kaif was in talks to romance Ranveer Singh in ’83’ before Deepika Padukone stepped in? The ‘Bharat’ actress replies

Kabir Khan’s directorial ’83’ is currently in its filming stage. It is rolling in full swing in England. The Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone starrer is based around the 1983 World Cup with Kapil Dev as the India captain. He is being portrayed onscreen by Ranveer. However, did you know that it wasn’t Deepika Padukone but Kabir Khan’s favourite actress – Katrina Kaif – who was to play the romantic lead opposite Ranveer? Well, rumours suggested the same and the actress has finally revealed the truth.

Before Deepika Padukone was roped in for ’83’, word got out that Katrina Kaif was in talks with Kabir Khan for the role of Kapil Dev’s wife Romi Dev. Recently, in an interaction with Times Of India, Katrina Kaif shut down the rumours by saying, “There was no conversation around Kabir’s film. I was never in talks for ‘83. I know nothing about the film.”

Further, when TOI asked her if she will be part of Zoya Akhtar’s next she replied, “As for Zoya’s next, I will be happy to work with her on any film she decides to cast me in but there has been no specific work conversation so far. She is a director you’d would give anything to work with. She’s phenomenally gifted and it’s hard to express what she gives you as a director. It’s such a gift to work with her. She’s an incredible person; and so is Kabir.”

Katrina will next be seen in ‘Sooryavanshi’ opposite Akshay Kumar.
