Kapil was dressed in casuals while Ranveer donned the costumes that he would be wearing in the movie. In another picture, Kapil was witnessed playing a shot to which Ranveer paid keen attention. And in yet another flick, director Kabir Khan was also shown. Further, the actor who made his debut in 2010, shared a picture of him playing Kapil Dev’s signature shot “the Natraj Shot”.

Several megastars to feature in the film:

Along with Ranveer, the forthcoming movie features plenty of iconic stars. Deepika Padukone will play the lead role opposite Ranveer, who are also a couple in real life. The likes of R Badree, Hardy Sandhu, Chirag Patil, Saqib Saleem, Pankaj Tripathi, Tahir Bhasin, Ammy Virk, and Sahil Khattar would make their presence felt as part of the team of men in blue.

The 1983 World Cup victory is one of the unforgettable moments for Indian cricket. They faced the favourites West Indies in the final, who were two-time champions. Kapil Dev’s men stunned the men from the Carribean by bowling them out for 140 in reply to 183 made by India.
