Ranveer Sing, who is all set to play former Indian cricket captain Kapil Dev, in Kabir Khan sporting biopic on India'1983 World Cup win, feels honored to be part of a big story. Today, a special event was held with the cricketers who brought glory to the country back in 1983. The Indian team comprised of Kapil Dev, Mohinder Amarnath, Sunil Gavaskar, Kirti Azad, Yashpal Sharma, Srikkanth, Roger Binny, Balwinder Singh Sandhu, Sandeep Patil, Syed Kirmani. Madan Lal, Ravi Shastri, Dilip Vengsarkar and Sunil Valson. But except, Ravi Shastri, Sunil Gavaskar, and Syed Kirmani the rest of the team were present for the event.

The actor, who was present for the media event said, “I was born at the time when cricket was big in our country. When Kabir Khan came to me and said that there will be a film on 1983, I was like finally! And when he was narrating it to me, I was like whoa! It is not a story just about cricket but a human story." It was a proud moment for Indian cricket and the nation when the team led by Kapil Dev lifted the World Cup at Lord's in London.

Ranveer is also nervous, "How am I going to do this? ” he asked. But at the same time, the actor is also happy to be part of the film, “I am honoured that I will be a part of the biggest story. Goosebumps and goosebumps in the second part of the film, right Kabir sir?"

Kabir Khan, who has already scripted the movie, shared, "As a young schoolboy when I watched India win the 1983 Cricket World Cup I had no idea that from that day onwards Cricket in India will change forever. As a filmmaker, for me, the journey to that win, filled with raw energy and sheer passion of that young Indian team, is probably one of the most exciting stories I have worked on.

He added, "It’s great to have Ranveer come on board to play Kapil Dev, as honestly, I could see no one else for the role, ever since I started finalizing the script.
