Kabir
Khan
Wanted
Ranveer
To
Catch
Kapil
Dev's
Expressions
"I
told
Ranveer
that
it's
not
a
look-alike
contest,
and
it's
not
about
how
you
look
like
Kapil
Dev.
It's
about
you
taking
on
the
persona...
something
that
Ranveer
has
succeeded
in
doing.
As
a
director,
I
could
only
observe
and
comment
if
it
was
right
or
wrong.
But,
the
process
of
getting
in
the
character
was
totally
Ranveer,"

Ranveer
Singh
Spent
Two
Weeks
With
The
Legendary
Cricketer
As
for
the
casting
and
the
prep
involved
in
moulding
Ranveer
into
the
legendary
Indian
cricket
team
captain,
Kabir
revealed
that
Mr
Gaikwad,
who
worked
on
Ranveer's
look
has,
worked
very
hard
in
terms
of
makeup.
He
added,
"I
think
it
was
those
two
weeks
we
spent
with
Kapil
Dev
that
made
all
the
difference
to
the
film,
especially
for
Ranveer."

He
said
that
the
actor
picked
up
Dev's
expressions
in
the
time
they
spent
together,
and
continued,
"He
held
on
to
the
expressions.
I
believe
it's
about
getting
the
expressions
right,
something
I
told
Ranveer
right
before
the
filming
commenced."
