Kabir Khan’s next isn’t 83, starring Ranveer Singh will revolve around the life of legendary cricketer Kapil Dev and his journey of pushing India to victory in the 1983 World Cup.
Another interesting fact about the movie is that 23-year-old Amiya, daughter of Kapil Dev will be making her debut in the film as an assistant director. Reports hint that Kapil Dev has been actively involved in assisting and helping the entire cast and crew of the film to nail the nuances of the 1983 World Cup right.
Chirag Patil, son of cricketer Sandeep Patil, who is also playing the role of his own father in the film spoke about meeting Kapil Dev’s daughter and he said, “We met for the first time while working on the film. She’s from Delhi, I’m from Mumbai and she’s way younger than me. She’s part of our daily training sessions since she is on the direction team. So, she keeps us updated on any meetings we are supposed to attend. Whenever I’m in Kabir’s office, she’s there and is very involved in the process, be it planning the costumes or the schedule.”
