CONFIRMED! Pankaj Tripathi joins Ranveer Singh’s ’83’ as team manager

Ranveer Singh’s forthcoming sports drama ‘83’, which is based on Indian cricket team’s historic win at the 1983 World Cup, has been making the right noise since it was announced. The makers of the film have been introducing each character one by one. The latest one who has been roped in ‘83’ is Pankaj Tripathi, who will be seen essaying the role of PR Man Singh, who was the manager of the team.

In Kabir Khan’s directorial ‘83’, Ranveer Singh will be seen playing the role of former Indian cricket team captain, Kapil Dev. There were reports doing the rounds on the internet that Pankaj Tripathi has been locked to play a part in the film. Confirming the news, Tripathi told Mumbai Mirror that he will be playing the role of PR Man Singh.

“He (Kabir) is one of my favourite directors and we met a couple of times but never got an opportunity to work together. Then one day, he called me to narrate the story of ’83’ and at certain points, it made me tear up,” Tripathi told the tabloid.

Speaking about his preparation for the role, he said, “I was good at bowling and fielding and I am hoping to brush up my batting skills while prepping for this film. I will also meet Man Singh Ji and talk to him about his experiences. For now, I have been given some books and documents to refer to.”

Talking about ‘Gully Boy’ actor Ranveer Singh, he said, “Working together will give us a chance to bond more. He’s very spirited and I’ve always got very warm vibes from him. I can’t wait to start shooting for the film.”

’83’ is co-produced by Kabir Singh, Madhu Mantena and Vishnu Induri and will hit the theatres on April 10, 2020.
