After the big success of the biopic film about Indian cricketer MS Dhoni, Bollywood is working on another cricketing biopic. This time Bollywood director Kabir Khan is reeling out the story of former Indian skipper, Kapil Dev, and his heroics that played a pivotal role in Team India’s first-ever World Cup victory in 1983.
For most Indians cricket fans, it was a big achievement at that time. Now, Kabir Khan wants to bring to life the story of that mega-event victory in front of the audience where Ranveer Singh is slated to play the main role of Kapil Dev whereas Deepika Padukone will be playing the role of his wife, Romi Dev.
Kabir Khan is one of the established directors in the Bollywood industry, who is responsible for giving several blockbuster films such as Sultan and Bajrangi Bhaijaan. Deepika Padukone took to her Instagram handle and shared an exclusive still alongside her reel and real-life husband Ranveer Singh. The two can be seen smiling at each other. Check it out.

Earlier, Kabir Khan had also praised Deepika for her work in the movie ’83 saying that the Bollywood Diva is a phenomenal actress. She was a perfect pick for the role of Romi Dev in the movie alongside her real-life hubby Ranveer Singh.
“I have always thought of Deepika as a phenomenal actress and when I was thinking of casting for Romi Dev’s role, I could only think of Her. Romi has disarmingly charming and positive energy and Deepika has captured that with perfection. Her easy chemistry with Ranveer will also greatly help in portraying the relationship that Kapil Dev and Romi share. I’m delighted that Deepika has been such an integral part of our journey for 83.”
As much as we look forward to another Bollywood biopic about Team India’s success, we can only wonder when will our industry start paying tribute to some of our greats of the game. What do you think? Which Pakistani biopic would you want to see get made?
