Deepika Padukone Did Not Tell Ranveer Singh About Joining ’83; Find Out Who Did!
Deepika Padukone recently revealed that when she was signed to be a part of ‘83, it wasn’t she who broke the news to Ranveer Singh, who is playing the lead in the film.
Deepika
Padukone
and
Ranveer
Singh
are
at
the
top
of
their
game
in
the
Hindi
film
industry
right
now.
This
fan-favourite
couple
has
acted
in
four
films
together,
and
is
right
now
filming
their
fifth,
'83.
Helmed
by
Kabir
Khan,
'83
is
based
on
former
Indian
cricket
team
captain,
Kapil
Dev,
and
how
he
led
the
team
to
victory
in
the
1983
World
Cup.
Ranveer
Singh
will
be
essaying
the
role
of
Kapil
Dev,
whereas
Deepika
will
portray
the
latter's
wife,
Romi
Bhatia.
When
Ranveer
was
first
signed
for
the
movie,
the
makers
had
not
yet
decided
on
whom
to
cast
to
play
his
on-screen
wife.
Deepika
recently
revealed
that
when
she
was
signed
to
play
that
role,
it
wasn't
she
who
broke
the
news
to
Ranveer!
That's
right.
She
said
that
it
was
director
Kabir
Khan
who
told
Ranveer.
As
reported
by
Pinkvilla,
Deepika
said
"Because
he
was
in
the
movie
[already]
as
an
actor,
I
felt
like
he
needed
to
hear
from
the
director
that
I
was
his
co-star."
She
further
added
that
she
was
drawn
to
the
movie,
and
her
character
in
particular,
because
she
wanted
to
tell
the
story
of
"the
sacrifices
that
a
wife
or
family
needs
to
make
to
enable
[an]
athlete
to
achieve
his
goals." Deepika
has
had
first-hand
experience
in
this
with
her
family
as
her
father
is
a
professional
badminton
player.
