Many
B-town
celebrities
like
Alia
Bhatt,
Janhvi
Kapoor,
Suchitra
Krishnamoorthi,
etc.,
lauded
Kabir
Khan's
latest
directorial
83,
wherein
Ranveer
Singh
plays
the
role
of
Indian
Cricket
Team
former
captain
Kapil
Dev.
The
film
tells
the
story
of
India's
heroic
victory
at
the
1983
Cricket
World
Cup
in
England.
A
couple
of
hours
ago,
Rajinikanth
also
lauded
83
and
tweeted,
"#83TheMovie

a
movie...

Many
congratulations
to
the
producers
@kabirkhankk
@therealkapildev
@RanveerOfficial
@JiivaOfficial
and
all
the
cast
and
crew."
Earlier,
during
the
promotions
of
83,
director
Kabir
had
lauded
Ranveer
for
putting
so
much
effort
in
the
film
and
said
"For
me,
from
the
time
I
got
the
idea
that
I
am
making
83,
my
first
choice
was
Ranveer
Singh.
A
lot
of
people
were
asking
me
why
Ranveer.
The
usual
answer
would
be
because
he
is
the
finest
actor
of
our
generation.
But,
for
me,
it
was
a
director's
gut
instinct
to
pick
the
right
person.
And
I
am
so
glad
that
he
was
my
first
choice.
I
went
to
him,
he
said
yes
and
today
when
we
have
completed
the
film,
I
cannot
imagine
anybody
else
doing
what
Ranveer
has
done."
He
further
added,
"People
are
reacting
to
the
trailer,
and
I
can't
wait
for
them
to
see
the
film
and
see
what
the
man
(Ranveer
Singh)
has
done.
It's
impossible
to
play
cricket
like
Kapil
Dev,
but
Ranveer
practised
bating
and
bowling
like
him
for
five
hours
every
day
for
four
to
five
months.
It's
not
easy,
and
it
takes
a
huge
toll
on
your
body."
