Here is the trailer for ‘83’ which relives India’s unlikely Cricket World Cup win against the mighty West Indies.
In a story of ups, downs and the ultimate underdog, Ranveer Singh transforms into 1983 Indian captain and cricket icon Kapil Dev as he leads his team to their first ever world title, despite being rank outsiders for the tournament.
The sports biopic is directed by Kabir Khan and features an illustrious cast including Tahir Raj Bhasin, Jiiva, Saqib Saleem, Jatin Sarna, Chirag Patil, Dinker Sharma, Nishant Dahiya, Harrdy Sandhu, Sahil Khattar, Ammy Virk, Addinath Kothare, Dhairya Karwa, R Badree and Pankaj Tripathi. Deepika Padukone stars as Romi, Kapil Dev's wife.
In 1983 India played their hearts out to defeat the West Indies at Lords in London - the ‘home of cricket’.
Entering the tournament, the Indian national team had only won a solitary game in the previous two world cups, meaning they were rank outsiders for the crown as the tournament arrived in England and Wales.
The film premieres in UK cinemas on 24 December.
