BOLLYWOOD actor Ranveer Singh has revealed that cricket great Sachin Tendulkar’s words of praise means the world to him. On Wednesday, the Ranveer-Deepika Padukone-starrer 83 has captivated the audiences by their on-screen performances to recreate the historic win by Kapil Dev and Co in 1983 and how it created a great impact on little Tendulkar.
The film shows how Team India won the World Cup in 1983 under Kapil’s captaincy. Ranveer essays the role of Kapil in the movie while his real-life wife Deepika plays Romi Dev. The Kabir Khan-directed film released on December 24 has managed to pull audiences to theatres despite the rise in COVID-19 cases. And Tendulkar, too, liked the reel Kapil and he felt that he could recreate those iconic moments on screen.
Sachin tweeted: “A brilliant ‘all-round’ display by @RanveerOfficial in 83. Really soaked in all the @therealkapildev paaji traits to make us reminisce the iconic moments of our first-ever World Cup victory. I know the win really inspired the little boy.”
Replying to Sachin, Ranveer wrote:” And then the little boy went on to inspire generations! Thank you, Master! This means everything!”
Looks like the film may enter the 100crore club as the film has already managed to rake in more than 93.28 crores so far.
According to a trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweet, the film has managed to collect quite a bit over the weekend. His tweet read, “#83TheFilm [Week 2] Fri 4.36 cr, Sat 7.73 cr, Sun 7.31 cr, Mon 2.01 cr. Total: 93.28 cr. #India biz. ALL VERSIONS (sic).”
