Prep of Kabir Khan's '83 starts with stunning picture at Lord's

New Delhi, Aug 10 (UNI) The preparation of Kabir Khan directorial sports film '83 starring Ranveer Singh, begins as the duo share a stunning picture with Sachin Tendulkar from the Lord's Cricket Ground in London.

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.'

Directed by Kabir Khan, the sports film will bring to light one of the most important event in the Indian cricket history. The film will be shot at real locations and will be going on floors early next year.

While Ranveer Singh will play the role of Indian Cricket team's then captain Kapil Dev, the film will be backed by a powerful support cast. The casting of the other cricket players is yet in process.
