Filmmaker Kabir Khan spoke about the theatrical performance of his recent film 83, and said that a conversation with Kapil Dev kept him going even as states were imposing new restrictions that were massively affecting the film’s box office performance.
"Kapil Dev said, 'Kabir, you've already got your World Cup. This film...you've made is your World Cup'," Kabir added.
He said the former India cricket captain told him to "forget about...money" and focus on positivity.
Based on Team India’s underdog victory at the 1983 cricket World Cup, 83 stars Ranveer Singh as Kapil Dev.
It also features an ensemble cast that includes Saqib Saleem, Harrdy Sandhu, Ammy Virk, Sahil Khattar, Chirag Patil, Jiiva, Pankaj Tripathi, Deepika Padukone, and more.
