As Kabir his on-screen cricket team have been recreating the 1983 World Cup matches in Scotland, we hear that Ranveer and his boys will recreate the 1983 finals - that saw Kapil Dev's team take on West Indies - at Lord's cricket ground in July-end after the ongoing World Cup. "Kabir has designed the schedule in such a way that the unit will finish filming pivotal matches by mid-July. By then, the ongoing World Cup will wrap up. The unit will then head to Lord's to shoot the 1983 World Cup final, which forms the climax of the sports drama," a leading daily quoted a source close from the creative team of the Vishnu Induri, Madhu Mantena and Sajid Nadiadwala production as saying.
Furthermore, Deepika will join them in England to shoot the sequences. "It is well-known that Romi had walked out of the stadium midway, assuming that India would lose the match. She then tried re-entering the ground when India started taking wickets but was unable to do so as she had given her pass away. This anecdote will be shown on screen," the source added. Reportedly, the team has already shot for the memorable India-Zimbabwe match.
'83 is being presented by Reliance Entertainment, and will release on April 10, 2020 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
