Kabir Khan was interacting with media on the sidelines of IIFTC Awards here in Mumbai. The filmmaker was honoured for his contribution to shooting in many different locations.

Talking about the forthcoming 1983 World Cup based cricket drama, Kabir Khan said, “83 status, is training right now. After Ranveer Singh’s Gully Boy’s release, the training is going on in full mode. The entire team has been training for the last 4-5 months, but now it is in full swing, as our shooting starts from May. The shooting will be done in England for four straight months, as the 1983 World cup took place in England”

While actor Ranveer Singh would be portraying the role of Kapil Dev, other cast members include names such as Chirag Patel, Punjabi actor-singer Ammy Virk, Tamil actor Jiiva, Pankaj Tripathi and many more.

Talking about the cast, Kabir said, “We haven’t announced everyone from the cast, but I can talk about the people we have announced. Ranveer Singh is playing Kapil Dev and Pankaj Tripathi is playing the manager and that is one important and interesting role”

“See we know about the players, but the important role manager PR Man Singh played in this whole story, that people don’t know about and that is one interesting character. Pankaj Tripathi is playing that character; he is my favourite actor from the industry”

The film based is on the Indian cricket team’s 1983 World Cup win under Kapil Dev’s captaincy. The actors portraying the role of cricketers are currently training under cricketer Balvinder Singh Sandhu, who was a part of the 1983 winning team.
