Ranveer Singh, who is all set to play Kapil Dev in Kabir Khan's '83, has been sharing who's playing which legendary cricketer in the film on his social media accounts. While we got to know Tahir Raj Bhasin is playing the legendary Sunil Gavaskar a few days back, the makers have now revealed that Saqib Saleem will play Mohinder Amarnath in the film.
Kabir Khan's sports drama '83 is based on India's historic win at the 1983 World Cup.
"Courage of a Lion. Nerves of Steel.The Indomitable Comeback King of India. Presenting @saqibsaleem as MOHINDER ‘JIMMY’ AMARNATH", Ranveer Singh wrote on Instagram.
On Sunday, Ranveer Singh said actor Jiiva will play Krishnamachari Srikkanth.
Ranveer Singh trained with Kapil Dev on the film's sets in Dharamshala and also spent some time with him at his residence to further perfect his character. Speaking to news agency IANS earlier, Ranveer had said: "I think what I gained from Kapil sir has been invaluable. There is no other way I'd do it. I am very fortunate, privileged and honoured that he welcomed me into his home. He was warm, welcoming and forthcoming. Everything I gained from him during those days is going to be invaluable for the construction of my performance," he added.
'83 is all set to hit screens on April 10.
