Ranveer Singh is all set to feature as 1983 Indian team captain Kapil Dev in Kabir Khan's upcoming film '83, based on India's win in the 1983 World Cup. The cast of the film underwent a 10- day training camp in Dharamshala under the supervision of Kapil Dev and other cricketing legends and they soon will be heading to London to kickstart the film's shoot. However, it seems the training for the boys is not yet over as Kabir Khan is reportedly planning to arrange an interaction between the actors and the 1983 West Indies team, including Sir Vivian Richards, Gordon Greenidge and Desmond haynes.
Confirming the same, Ammy Virk, who will be seen as Balvinder Singh Sandhu in the sports drama, told a leading daily, "The cast and crew are flying down to London on May 27. We have a 10- day practice session in the British capital. The makers are trying to get Gordon Greenidge, Michael holding, Viv Richards, Andy Roberts and Desmond Haynes to attend these sessions. The idea is to get first- hand accounts] of their techniques and their mindspace during the final match. The makers are also hoping that they will be available for a few days during the shoot."

Apparently, the practice sessions will see other cast members — including Saqib Saleem, Sahil Khattar and Jiiva, among others -- hit the pitch to compete with actors who will be seen as players from different nations. "Our director has chosen actors from all over the world and they will essay the roles of cricketing legends like Malcolm Marshall, Clive Lloyd, Arjuna Ranatunga and many more. Balvinder sir has already held a few sessions with them, but now we will face them on the field," concluded Ammy.
Presented by Reliance Entertainment, '83 is slated to release on April 10, 2020.
