Earlier
this
year,
the
makers
of
83
started
revealing
character
posters
for
all
the
members
of
the
team
that
brought
India
into
light
in
the
world
of
cricket.
One
of
the
key
members
of
the
team
was
PR
Man
Singh
who
served
as
the
only
staff
member
for
the
team
and
served
as
the
manager
and
arranged
everything,
the
team
had
no
staff,
no
coach,
and
no
chef
with
them.
There
was
nobody
else
in
the
entourage
and
PR
Man
Singh
turned
out
to
be
a
critical
member
for
the
team
and
arranged
everything
the
Indian
cricket
team
during
the
World
Cup.
The
character
of
reel
life
PR
Man
Singh
is
being
played
by
none
other
than
Pankaj
Tripathi
and
talking
more
on
the
same,
director
Kabir
Khan
shares,
“For
long
I
have
been
an
admirer
of
Pankaj
Tripathi’s
talent.
He
is
one
of
the
most
versatile
actors
that
I’ve
come
across
and
Pankaj
as
P
R
Man
Singh
in
my
head
was
the
perfect
match.
The
character
of
Man
Singh
is
going
to
be
a
discovery
for
the
audience.
As
manager,
he
was
an
integral
member
of
the
winning
team
of
1983
and
the
players
often
said
to
me
that
without
Man
bhai
they
would
not
have
pulled
it
off.
Needless
to
say,
Pankaj
has
done
a
remarkable
job
in
recreating
Man
Singh’s
character.”
PR
Man
Singh
played
an
essential
role
in
India’s
win
at
the
World
Cup.
He
was
also
managing
the
team
during
the
1987
World
Cup
where
India
reached
the
semi-finals.
The
1983
World
Cup
win
brought
India
into
the
light
in
the
world
of
sports
and
