83 traces the journey of the Indian cricket team winning the 1983 World Cup against the West Indies.

Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone
There's been a story doing the rounds that Deepika Padukone has taken over as producer for Kabir Khan's 83. It is also being said that she will oversee the post-production of the film after Shibashish Sarkar of Reliance Entertainment tested positive for COVID-19.
Putting these rumours to rest, a source close to the 83 team shared, "In times of COVID-19, when all of us should be wishing each other well, a false and insensitive story has been done. Deepika Padukone, as a producer, like all producers of 83 is an integral part of the project. But when a film has a highly able director like Kabir Khan, who is dedicatedly looking into this post-production, where is the need for anyone else to do anything?!"
