MUMBAI: Ranveer Singh will be seen playing the role of Kapil Dev in the legendary cricketer’s biopic, '83. Fans of the actor and legendary cricketer are eagerly waiting for the release of the film.
And a few days back, Twitter had erupted with hilarious memes when a photo of Ranveer Singh, in his Kapil Dev avatar, surfaced online. In the picture, Ranveer was seen pulling off Kapil Dev’s classic Natraj shot and one of the memes changed Ranveer’s white uniform into a colourful one because well, that is how usually Ranveer dresses up, isn’t it? Post that, a photo of Kapil Dev surfaced online wherein he was seen wearing bright colourful clothes just like Ranveer Singh’s quirky outfits and in no time, photo of Dev went viral.
Now during a recent interview with Times Now, Kapil Dev was asked about his reaction to the viral meme and the cricketer had the most positive reaction to it as he laughed about it. Little did we know that Kapil Dev’s energy levels are at par with that of Ranveer as he admitted that his energy levels were at par with that of Ranveer. However, the former cricketer said that he could be energetic only on the field unlike Ranveer, who has his energy levels up all the time. While the shooting of ’83 kick-started in London, the makers wrapped up the shooting in Mumbai, and Deepika Padukone, who plays Ranveer’s wife in the film, had thrown a wrap up bash for the cast and crew in Mumbai.
The film is directed by Kabir Khan. Bankrolled by Reliance Entertainment, the film also stars Harrdy Sandhu, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Saqib Saleem, Amrita Puri, Jiiva, Ammy Virk, Pankaj Tripathi, Sahil Khattar and Chirag Patil in pivotal roles. '83 is slated to release in 2020.
