Just like all of us, Tahir Raj Bhasin is also eagerly waiting for the release of his next film ’83, which also stars Ranveer Singh and ensemble. The Manto actor joined Koimoi for an exclusive chat today and opened up on shooting the final scene the moment where India picked up the World Cup and you cannot miss how surreal it was for the actor.
Tahir Raj Bhasin who plays Sunil Gavaskar in ’83, appeared for an exclusive Instagram Live session with Koimoi, where he spoke about a lot of things including ’83, Looop Lapeta with Taapsee Pannu and his new found interest in poetry.
Tahir was asked about the pressure that the team went through while creating the iconic moment of the Indian cricket team lifting the World cup. He said, “More than pressure I would say it was pride. Because I wasn’t born in 1983 but it is a moment you have seen on repeat on TV. You know every time the World Cup used to come the same footage of the Indian team lifting the trophy and my father’s generation has lived through that. So it was a moment of pride to be able to portray these cricketers. And you realise while prepping for the film ki us zamaane ka jo cricket tha aur aaj jo hai usme zameen aasman ka farak hai. The level of pacers West Indies had, the level of protection equipment, the type of pitches, so the condition these guys have played and won the World Cup, you will have to watch the film to understand the significance of that moment.”
