Have a look at the pictures shared by a Twitter handle where Ranveer can be seen with Kabir Khan at JVPD ground.

’83’ is about the story of skipper Kapil Dev and the Indian national cricket team when they won the World Cup title against West Indies in 1983. Earlier at the launch of ’83’ when Ranveer was asked about his reaction on being offered the role of Kapil Dev, he said, “I was born at the time when cricket was big time. When Kabir Sahab (director Kabir Khan) had come to me and said that there will be a film on 83, I was like finally. And when he was narrating it to me, I was like woooh. It is not a story just about cricket but a human story.”
