’83: Kapil Dev To Join Ranveer Singh & Co To Promote The Kabir Khan Film, But There’s A Catch

With the COVID-19 pandemic throwing spanners in the release plans of films, fans are still eagerly waiting for the Kabir Khan multi-starrer 83 to hit theatres. With rumours suggesting that the Ranveer Singh starrer is likely to be released soon, the question going through the minds of many is whether the former Indian skipper, Kapil Dev, will join the team on their promotional spree.

It’s to be noted that when MS Dhoni The Untold Story was released, the ex-skipper on whom the film was based joined Sushant Singh Rajput and the team to publicize the flick. So will we see Kapil Paaji? Well, read on to know what sources in the know have to say.

As reported by SpotboyE, sources close to Kapil Dev has revealed that he will be part of the promotion for Kabir Khan’s ’83, featuring Ranveer Singh as him, but with a slight twist. Talking about the same, a source in the know told the portal, “Kapil Paaji went through a health issue in October 2020. He was advised to take it easy. The ’83 producers, Reliance Entertainment and Kabir Khan are not too sure of how much they can fall back on the real Kapil and the publicity may just have to be shouldered by the on-screen Kapil.”
