Kabir Khan is starting intense preparation for his much awaited film 83, starring Ranveer Singh in and as the legendary Indian captain Kapil Dev. The ace director wants that his on-screen team should be as close and bonded with each other as the original ’83 World Cup team was. And that’s why the team, headed by Ranveer, is off to Dharamshala for some team-building and intense coaching sessions.
The 1983 cricket team was a family that fought for each other, beside each other and that’s why they lifted the World Cup and brought glory to India. Kapil led from the front and it was truly a team that dared to dream under Kapil. Kabir was sure that he would want the entire team to train and live with each other before he shot the film. The 1983 team was nicknamed Kapil’s Devils and this team can be called Ranveer’s Devils! They are all headed to Dharamshala for intense training for 15 days. They will stay together, each together, do readings together and also bond with each other. Kabir wants these brilliant actors to truly become a team,” says a production source on conditions of anonymity.
On the personal front, Ranveer has been enjoying marital bliss with his new wife Deepika Padukone. After ’83 he will start working on Karan Johar’s Takht. Deepika on the other hand has kick-started her Chhapaak schedule in Delhi. Doting hubby Ranveer made a visit to his wife’s sets before heading off to Dharamshala.
Along with Ranveer, other actors who will play important supporting roles are Pankaj Tripathi, Saqib Saleem, Chirag Patil, Harrdy Sandhu, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Adinath Kothare. Ranveer has already started bonding very well with the boys and the Kangra schedule will take this to another level.
