EXCLUSIVE: Here’s what Kapil Dev has to say on the casting of Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone starrer ‘83
Just a while back, Deepika Padukone’s first look as Romi Dev from ‘83 was unveiled after Ranveer Singh’s Kapil Dev’s poster. In an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, Kapil Dev opened up about what he thinks about the cast of ‘83.
Since the time Ranveer Singh starrer ‘83 was announced, fans were eager to see how the actor would transform into legendary 1983 world cup winning captain, Kapil Dev. When the first look of Ranveer as Kapil was released, fans were in awe of how the actor nailed it. Now, Deepika Padukone’s look as Romi Dev from ‘83 has been released and once again, netizens can’t stop gushing over it. Ahead of the release of the sports drama, Pinkvilla spoke to the Haryana Hurricane, Kapil Dev himself about the casting of the film.
The former legendary cricketer spoke about the casting of Ranveer and Deepika starrer. Kapil Dev said that one has to look at the casting much like the real 1983 cricket team. He said, “I think one has to see that when you go out there, you do not really have to see other people are good or not, you have to perform to the best of your ability. I think this is what happened to the '83 team. They were just so much fun within the team what they were trying to do and when the fun part comes, the performance improves.”
Well, indeed that sums up how the legendary cricketer feels about the cast of Kabir Khan’s ‘83. When the first look of Ranveer as Kapil was shared on his birthday, the Haryana Hurricane was also in awe of it and had commented on Singh’s photo. While training for his role as 1983 World cup winning captain, Ranveer spent 10 days with Kapil Dev at his house in New Delhi to pick up nuances from his daily life. Also, before leaving for shoot in the UK, Kapil Dev had trained Ranveer at the boot camp in Dharamshala.
