The film ‘83 traces the iconic win of the Indian cricket team at the 1983 world cup against West Indies as they made history and picked the World Cup for the first time ever. This movie is going to make hardcore cricket fans revisit the past for the ones who have seen this match and make each heart rush faster with every second for the ones who haven't witnessed the match.

Ranveer Singh, after days of hard work, patience and practice, has picked the legendary cricketer’s look and mannerism as neatly as someone could. Ranveer, for his role, will be seen aping Kapil Dev’s iconic Natraj pose, a still of which already went viral in the past. He spent ten days with the cricketer and made optimum use of it by playing for as long as eight hours every day, and bring as much perfection as he could. Directed by Kabir Khan, ’83 releases on April 10, 2020.
