He further said “This happens to be a special moment in my life which comes only once in your lifetime. It’s such a story that can never be forgotten. This is the moment that I can feel when every pore of my body looks desperate to narrate the story. It’s such a great responsibility. I also want to make my loving son feel proud of this team as I myself did the same then being a school boy.”
Kabir Khan also narrated those special moments that he can’t forget. He disclosed how he relished the victory of Indian team in the year 1983.
He said “As a young boy, I was watching the match but at that time didn’t bother to relate it with the implications of this emphatic win. Also, I could not realize how the game of cricket was going to completely change afterwards. It was the day in 1983 when all those young players were paid almost 16 pounds a day (as their daily allowance) in London. But now, the game has completely changed as you can see that today 16,000 crore are being paid only for television rights. That’s exactly what these people actually did.”

The Kapil Dev biopic will cast Ranveer Singh in the lead role. The Padmavati actor almost shocked and surprised when he narrated the entire story.
Ranveer further said “I’m fortunate to have born into a time when the game of cricket was regarded as the number one sport in the country. Well, it was a huge thing for me as I never knew the actual story. But when Kabir Khan narrated me the entire story and also that he is making a Kapil Dev biopic on 1983, I felt exhilerated and thought to be a moment of great sports story is being portrayed onto the screens.”
Discussing further on the Kapil Dev biopic, Ranveer also disclosed how he got completely surprised and shocked after Kabir Khan narrated the story. Well, it was never a surprise to learn all those things against which our players had to struggle. This is a great human story more than anything else. He said.
