Ranveer Singh’s 83 declared tax-free in Delhi, director Kabir Khan reacts
The forthcoming sports film, 83, has been pronounced tax-free in Delhi, director Kabir Khan said in a new Instagram post. Kabir has directed the film that features Ranveer Singh in the lead role.
Kabir posted a poster of his film and wrote on Instagram, “Thank you, Shri. @arvindkejriwal ji and Shri. msisodia.aap ji, for declaring the film 83 tax-free in Delhi! Your gesture will able us to propagate the tale of India’s greatest victory to a wider audience. @therealkapildev #ThisIs83.”
Speaking about his role in ‘83’, Ranveer had said in a press statement, “He (Kapil Dev) has a very unique bowling action and his bio-mechanics are very unique to him. My body is very different from his so I had to transform my physicality drastically in order to achieve it. It took a long time, in fact, months to perfect the action. Initially, my body was too heavy because I was coming off of the shoot of Simmba.”
He added, “Our coach noticed that my body was too heavy and he said jab tu run-up mein aata hai toh tu aisa lagta hai ki pehelwan bowling karne aa raha hai. And he sent me away for a month just to change my physicality to bring it closer to Kapil’s athleticism and then once I did that, I started making some headway. I was playing cricket for 4 hours a day for 6 months and doing physical conditioning for 2 hours a day for those 6 months. Four months of prep and 2-3 months of shoot, I put in a lot of hours.”
