Ranveer Singh’s ’83’ has a release date and it’s a long wait

Team Indian winning the cricket world cup in 1983 is one of the fondest memories the cricket fanatics have. With ‘83‘, a film on the world cup victory being announced, people couldn’t wait to relive that moment on the big screen. But it looks like we will have to wait a little longer for it. A release date of the film has been announced and it’s a two years wait from now.

Phantom Film, one of the producers of the film, took to Twitter to announce the release date which is April 10, 2020.

Here’s what they wrote:

The rest of the casting is yet to be finalised, and as of now we only have Ranveer on board. Recently, there were reports that Nawazuddin Siddiqui may be a part of the film, and if he does decide to join the cast of 83, He will be seen playing Ranveer Singh’s coach in the film.

Earlier, in an interview with PTI, Ranveer had said, “Audience knows he is Ranveer and he is going to play the role of Kapil Dev in the film. Today, there is technology to make Ranveer look exactly like him, but that is not the attempt. He needs to get the persona of Dev and yet retain his identity as Ranveer. We want the audience to see and enjoy Ranveer playing Dev.”

He further added, “We will be shooting mostly in London, the whole story is what happened in London. We can’t shoot for seven-eight days at Lord’s, it is not possible. But we do have the permission in place to shoot there. The whole cricket community from all over the world, whether it is the ICC or BCCI is helping. It is such a celebratory story about cricket that any cricketing body would like to support it.”

The film will be produced by Phantom Films, Reliance Entertainment and Kabir Khan Films.
