A day ago, Ranveer Singh had also shared a photo of the entire star cast of '83, which includes Ammy Virk, Harrdy Sandhu, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Saqib Saleem, Chirag Patil, Jiiva, Sahil Khattar, Addinath Kothare, R Badree and others on Instagram. The team shared a glimpse of them having fun in the pool as they kickstarted 1983's shoot in Dharamshala.
Here's the picture of the entire reel and real cricket team:
Apparently, Ranveer will spend a fortnight with Kapil Dev to learn his mannerisms and harness of his character. Talking about it, a source had earlier told mid-day, "Kapil Dev had flown down to Mumbai last month to film an episode of The Kapil Sharma Show. It was during this visit that Ranveer met him and expressed his desire to spend a few days with him in Chandigarh. The cricketer gladly obliged. The idea is to spend as much time as possible with Kapil so that he can study his mannerisms and body language. Ranveer will also utilise the time to perfect his bowling skills under Kapil sir's supervision."
Ranveer, along with the entire team is being trained under the supervision of coach Balwinder Singh Sandhu. The film '83 would be Ranveer Singh's first trilingual film to be made in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
Earlier, the makers hosted an event to announce the film along with the entire former team that lifted the world cup in 83. The event was attended by the original Men in Blue along with Captain Kapil Dev.
