Pankaj Tripathi to play Ranveer Singh’s coach in Kabir Khan’s ’83’?

Ranveer Singh is in a zone, where very few actors reach during their career. The 33-year-old actor had made his debut in 2010 with Maneesh Sharma’s ‘Band Baaja Baaraat’ and within a decade, he is a top actor. Now, as we all know, Ranveer Singh will be portraying the character of former Indian cricket captain Kapil Dev in Kabir Khan’s ’83’.

This feature film is based on India’s triumph at the 1983 cricket World Cup in England. According to a report in Cineblitz, Pankaj Tripathi has been zeroed in to play Ranveer’s coach in Kabir Khan’s ’83’. Nawazuddin Siddiqui was first offered the role but he had to decline it due to the film’s shoot getting delayed and he could not commit time for this project.

Ranveer is a huge fan of Pankaj Tripathi and immensely respects him. Seasoned actor Pankaj is also very fond of the ‘Simmba’ actor. ’83’ will be an emotional film for many Indians as Kapil Dev’s heroics in 1983 World Cup over mighty West Indies at Lord’s gave India its first big moment in cricket. ’83’ is expected to release on April 10, 2020.

Pankaj Tripathi has proved his acting mettle and was seen in ‘Mirzapur’ and ‘Sacred Games’. The actor also made his mark in southern superstar Rajnikanth’s ‘Kaala’, apart from ‘Stree’ and ‘Kaalakaandi’ among other films.

Meanwhile, Ranveer Singh is awaiting his next release ‘Gully Boy’. The Zoya Akhtar directorial also stars Alia Bhatt. This rap bonanza is releasing on February 14, 2019.
