The
Historic
Win
Scene
Was
Filmed
In
Five
Days
Kabir
Khan
told
the
tabloid,
"We
shot
for
five
days
at
the
Lord's
stadium
in
London,
entering
the
membersonly
Long
Room
where
no
camera
had
ventured
before,
the
dressing
rooms
and
locker
rooms,
then
stepped
out
on
the
balcony
where
the
World
cup
was
presented
to
Kapil
Sir'."
(sic)
Ranveer
Singh's
Emotional
Moment
On
The
Sets
He
further
revealed,
"They
brought
the
real
World
Cup
for
Ranveer
(Singh,
who
is
playing
Kapil
Dev
in
the
film)
too.
Overwhelmed,
he
broke
down
when
I
shouted
'Cut'."
Kabir
Khan
Also
Narrated
An
Interesting
Incident
From
The
Sets
Speaking
about
who
all
were
present
on
the
sets
when
the
iconic
moment
was
shot,
the
filmmaker
revealed,
"Among
those
on
the
balcony
was
also
Clive
Lloyd's
son
who,
like
Gordan
Greenidge
and
Malcolm
Marshall's
sons,
is
playing
his
father
in
the
film.
We
had
legends
like
Kapil
Dev,
Gavaskar
to
Vivian
Richards
dropping
by.
That
day,
Clive
Lloyd,
captain
of
the
'83
West
Indian
team
which
had
crashed
to
140
all
out
to
give
Kapil
and
us
an
unlikely
win,
was
there
to
support
his
son.
When
we
urged
him
to
come
closer,
he
quipped
that
he
didn't
want
to
see
the
Cup
being
given
away
for
the
second
time
in
his
life."
On
Ranveer
Singh's
Uncanny
Resemblance
To
Kapil
Dev
"Look,
for
me,
it
was
never
a
lookalike
contest.
For
every
character,
I
cast
a
person
who
matched
the
persona
of
the
original.
In
the
last
few
films,
Ranveer's
lived
his
roles.
It's
a
rare
gift
he
has,
along
with
the
effort
he
puts
in.
Even
in
our
film,
after
10
minutes
you'll
forget
it's
Ranveer
on
screen.
With
visual
effects
and
prosthetics,
I
could
have
made
him
a
replica
of
Kapil
sir.
But
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it
wasn't
about
the
look
but
whether
he
was
convincing
playing
a
cricketer
through
45
days.
At
times,
even
Kapil
sir's
daughter
Amiya
who
is
an
AD
on
the
film,
would
find
it
eerie,"
explained
Kabir
Khan.
On
Casting
Deepika
Padukone
As
Romi
Dev
On
being
asked
if
Deepika
was
cast
because
she
and
Ranveer
are
a
couple,
Kabir
revealed,
"No,
she
is
a
brilliant
performer
whom
I
have
always
adored
and
wanted
to
work
with
her. We
are
lucky
she
came
on
board
not
just
as
an
actor
but
as
a
producer
too. Romi
ma'am
is
a
significant
part
of
Kapil
sir's
support
system; Deepika
embodies
her
energy
effortlessly."
