After
unveiling
the
official
logo
of
Ranveer
Singh's
upcoming
movie
'83,
the
makers
have
now
revealed
the
character
poster
of
Tahir
Raj
Bhasin
as
Sunil
Gavaskar
from
the
Kabir
Khan
directorial.
Tahir
took
to
his
Instagram
page
to
share
his
look
from
the
sports
drama
and
wrote,
"Inki
batting
ne
dushman
ke
chakke
chuda
diye!
Essaying
the
Little
Master's
role
has
been
such
a
humbling
experience.Presenting
the
man,
the
legend,
#SunilGavaskar!
#ThisIs83."
Ranveer
Singh
too,
shared
this
new
poster
and
wrote,
"TAHIR
RAJ
BHASIN
as
The
Little
Master
SUNIL
GAVASKAR
#ThisIs83."
Earlier
in
an
exclusive
interview
with
Filmibeat,
the
Chhichhore
actor
shared,
"There
is
pressure.
But
it's
also
an
honour
to
play
a
legend
like
him.
Gavaskar
was
India's
first
superstar
before
Kapil
Dev,
Sachin
Tendulkar,
MS
Dhoni
and
now,
Virat
Kohli.
To
portray
that
and
to
do
it
with
dignity
and
the
pride
which
that
part
deserves
is
pressure.
So,
I
took
four
months
of
cricket
coaching
with
real
coaches
including
Balvinder
Singh
Sandhu
who
was
a
member
of
the
83
squad
when
they
won
the
World
Cup."
When
quizzed
about
his
preparation
for
this
film,
he
added,
"I
had
to
play
cricket
not
like
how
Tahir
would.
I
had
to
play
like
how
Gavaskar
would
which
is
a
big
change
in
my
cricket
form.
So,
there
has
been
a
lot
of
stress
on
how
one
would
walk
on
the
field,
hold
the
bat
because
there
are
two
things
in
India
which
everyone
loves
and
is
an
expert
on-
films
and
cricket.
'83
is
a
combination
of
both.
So,
there
is
pressure
but
at
the
same
time,
there's
excitement
that
I
am
doing
something
and
am
a
part
of
a
project
that
everyone
is
looking
forward
to
watch."
'83
revolves
around
India's
historic
win
against
West
Indies
in
the
1983
World
Cup.
The
film
stars
Ranveer
Singh,
Deepika
Padukone,
