Ever
since
Ranveer
Singh
starrer
'83
has
been
announced,
there
has
been
a
lot
of
excitement
around
this
film
which
revolves
around
India's
historic
'83
World
Cup.
The
cast
which
also
includes
names
like
Saqib
Saleem,
Harrdy
Sandhu,
Tamil
actor
Jiiva,
Tahir
Raj
Bhasin
amongst
others,
left
for
London
to
begin
the
first
shooting
schedule.
The
film
is
slated
to
go
on
floors
from
June
5
in
Glasgow.
Speaking
about
'83,
director
Kabir
Khan
had
earlier
said
in
an
interview,
"It's
probably
the
best
story
I've
heard
in
my
life.
But
there's
a
dearth
of
writing
about
it.
I
had
to
go
to
Lord's
library
and
search
all
the
book
to
finally
get
all
the
material
together.
There's
such
less
material
written
on
it
despite
the
fact
that
it
was
such
an
iconic
moment
in
the
history
of
our
country."
It's
Game
Time
For
The
Boys
The
official
Twitter
handle
of
'83
shared

wrote:
"It's
game
time.
#83SquadOnTheMove
The
journey
begins."

Before
Leaving
For
London
With
His
Squad,
Here's
What
Ranveer
Had
To
Say
The
actor
told
IANS,
"I
feel
prepared
and
less
anxious
than
I
was
when
I
started.
This
is
the
longest
I
have
prepared
for
any
role.
I
have
been
preparing
essentially
since
January,
which
makes
it
about
six
months.
I
have
done
three
weeks,
three
and
a
half
weeks,
four
weeks,
six
weeks,
but
six
months
preparing
for
a
character
is
unique...
But
then,
it's
a
unique
film
in
itself."
Ranveer
Gives
An
Insight
To
His
Preparation
"Playing
a
living
legend
poses
a
unique
set
of
challenges,
and
your
approach
to
the
preparation
for
that
character
has
to
be
all
the
more
intensive.
And
it
has
been.
But
at
the
same
time,
it
has
been
very
rewarding
and
fulfilling."
The
Actor
Has
Learnt
A
Lot
From
Kapil
Dev
"It
was
a
process
of
taking
a
lot
of
tips...
Cricketing
is
one
aspect
and
then
the
characterisation
is
one
aspect.
So
it
has
been
a
two-prong
process
in
essence.
I
think
what
I
gained
from
Kapil
sir
has
been
invaluable.
There
is
no
other
way
I'd
do
it.
I
am
very
fortunate,
privileged
and
honoured
that
he
welcomed
me
into
his
home.
He
was
warm,
welcoming
and
forthcoming.
Everything
I
gained
from
him
during
those
days
is
going
to
be
invaluable
for
the
construction
of
my
performance,"
the
actor
was
quoted
as
saying.
