Ranveer
Singh's
83
co-star
Tahir
Raj
Bhasin
couldn't
stop
singing
praises
of
him,
and
is
totally
smitten
by
his
energy.
Tahir,
who
has
stepped
into
the
shoes
of
cricketer
Sunil
Gavaskar
in
the
film,
spoke
to
a
leading
daily
and
shared
his
experience
about
working
with
the
Lootera
actor.
Tahir
said
that
portraying
the
role
of
a
living
legend
is
a
massive
challenge,
and
there's
a
lot
of
pressure
on
him
to
do
well.
He
further
asserted
that
he
did
all
the
research
before
commencing
the
shoot.
"As
far
as
Ranveer
is
concerned,
when
he
is
in
the
same
room
as
you,
he's
like
a
thunderbolt...
a
live
wire,
who
compels
you
to
up
your
game.
There's
this
energy
he
exudes
the
moment
he
walks
into
a
room," said
the
Mardaani
actor.
He
further
added
that
before
83,
he
had
only
seen
Ranveer's
interviews
and
seen
him
at
YRF
studio,
but
he
got
to
know
him
better
during
this
film
shoot.
"A
lot
of
people
ask
me
whether
he
is
really
like
that.
All
that
energy,
is
that
real?
I
feel
it's
genuine.
He
commits
to
a
part
110
per
cent.
When
you
have
a
guy
like
him
playing
the
captain,
it
compels
you
to
do
better
as
well,
and
it
shows.
It
helps
the
entire
unit,"
said
Tahir.
Tahir
is
gung-ho
about
83
release,
as
in
the
film
audiences
would
get
to
witness
Kapil
Dev
and
Sunil
Gavaskar's
dynamics
on-screen.
Speaking
about
the
same,
he
shared
with
the
leading
daily,
"It
was
particularly
thrilling
for
me
because
there
was
that
Sunil
Gavaskar-Kapil
Dev
dynamic.
Gavaskar
was
the
skipper
before
Kapil
Dev.
We
had
to
feed
off
each
other's
energy
to
get
that
dynamic
right."
For
the
unversed,
the
Kabir
khan
directorial
will
hit
the
theatres
on
June
4,
2021.
