It was just two days back when we got to know that Ranveer Singh is all set to play legendary Indian cricket captain Kapil Dev in a biopic which will be helmed by Kabir Khan. And what could have been better than an event organised by the makers with those 14 men under one roof who gave the nation a reason to celebrate back in the year 1983, when the Indian cricket team led by Kapil Dev lifted the World Cup in England.

The director also added, "It’s great to have Ranveer come on board to play Kapil Dev, as honestly, I could see no one else for the role, ever since I started finalising the script." (Source: Photo by Varinder Chawla)
