Ranveer Singh and Kabir Khan specially traveled to Lords' in London to soak in the atmosphere of the iconic stadium to witness the Test Match between India and England. Lord's Cricket Ground is where it all began for India and is the same venue where Indian won its world in 1983 against West Indies. Kabir Khan wanted Ranveer Singh and him to see a live match there and so began the journey of pre-production of one of the biggest movies in the making.

As the actor-director duo began the prep for the film, they shared a picture on social media along with the legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar.  Kabir Khan took to Instagram to share, "Sachin was 9 years old when he saw on television Kapil's Devils win the World Cup in 1983 right here at this ground. That win inspired him to want to play for India. 35 years later we kick off the prep for our film 83 at the Lords... Can't get better than this can it? @ranveersingh @sachintendulkar #indiaenglandseries #lords #filmprep".
