Director and screenwriter Kabir Khan’s next directorial venture ’83’ is set to go on floors from June 5, 2019 in Glasgow, Scotland. The film features Ranveer Singh as Kapil Dev, captain of the World Cup-winning Indian cricket team of 1983. The team will shoot at a local cricket club in the Scottish port city for a week, followed by other popular locations like Dulwich College in London, Edinburgh cricket club, Nevill Ground at Royal Tunbridge Wells in Kent and the Oval cricket ground. “Since it’s a real-life story, this film involved a lot of training and research. Now that it’s going on the floors, starting with the Glasgow schedule, everyone’s excited to recreate a journey that made history, all thanks to our cricketing heroes of the 83 team,” Kabir Khan said in a statement. The film will chronicle India’s win under Kapil’s captainship when the team defeated West Indies in the final to clinch their first-ever World Cup trophy in 1983. The film, presented by Reliance Entertainment, also features Pankaj Tripathi, Saqib Salim, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Jatin Sharma, Ammy Virk and Hardy Sandhu.
