 Ranveer, who is known to immerse himself in serious preparation for his roles — whether it be Alauddin Khilji in Padmaavat or Murad in Gully Boy — is doing it no differently for 83, whichwill tell the tale of India’s victory in the 1983 Cricket World Cup.

For his role as Kapil Dev on screen in the Kabir Khan directorial, Ranveer has already trained a bit with the cricket icon. But he is now looking forward to ‘spending more time’ with him.

“I’m looking forward to spending more time with Kapil sir. He is kind, generous, warm and funny. I had a memorable two days with him in Dharamsala. I’m going to spend more time with him in Delhi to learn more about him,” the actor said.

“It’s a first of its kind exercise in my acting process where I’ll be studying the man himself in the flesh for my on-screen portrayal of him. I’m thrilled to have this opportunity to learn about life from a true legend,” he added.
