today, the actor revealed his first look as Kapil Dev from the same. The
actor will be playing former Team India captain Kapil Dev who went on to lead
India to its first cricket World Cup win.
Looking strikingly similar to the veteran cricketer

in his hand with an intense look on his face. He wrote, “On my special day,
here’s presenting THE HARYANA HURRICANE KAPIL DEV @83thefilm @kabirkhankk

Ranveer
had spent 10 days at Kapil Dev’s residence in Delhi to understand the finer nuances
of his personality. He had received training from the cricketer himself during
the boot camp in Dharamshala.
Praising
the actor Kapil had told in an interview,
“His
commitment and passion. These two traits in him are what strikes an onlooker at
the first go. He will be at something repeatedly and won’t let go till he feels
he’s mastered it, despite others telling him it’s acceptable. Just acceptable
is not okay. It has to be excellent.”
Being

World Cup win in 1983. Ranveer’s wife and actor Deepika Padukone will play his
onscreen wife Romi Dev in the film. The team is currently stationed in Scotland
