The highly anticipated trailer of the Ranveer Singh starrer 83 has been released on YouTube and the trailer looks highly impressive. 83 is a film that tells the story of the Indian Cricket Team's journey towards winning the 1983 World Cup and looking at the trailer, it looks like 83 is a potential blockbuster. Ranveer Singh anchors this underdog story and he looks highly convincing as the legendary Kapil Dev. Ranveer Singh's conviction to play Kapil Dev is very much seen and he does complete justice to the given task. The next actor after Ranveer Singh who gets high prominence in the trailer is Jiiva, who plays Krishnamachari Srikkanth.
Jiiva is enjoyable as Cheeka and he brings a great level of fun with his performance. It is also good to see a Tamil actor making it big in Hindi cinema, getting a good level of screen presence. Jiiva's Hindi dubbing is also fine. It looks like Jiiva will be taking care of the film's fun quotient that will be present at a minimal level. Both Ranveer Singh and Jiiva stand out in this trailer, while the other actors don't get much screen time in the trailer. 83 will be nothing short of a visual treat for the ones who love inspiring sports dramas and the trailer is suggestive of that.
Produced by Reliance Entertainment and Phantom Films, 83 is directed by Kabir Khan and the star filmmaker seems to have done his part well. Deepika Padukone will be seen playing an extended cameo, as Kapil Dev's wife. Tahir Raj Bhasin plays Sunil Gavaskar, while Saqib Saleem will essay the character of Mohinder Amarnath. Apart from the original Hindi version, 83 will also have a dubbed release in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. The Tamil version of 83 will be released through the banner of Kamal Haasan's Raaj Kamal Films International, in association with Sashikanth's Y Not X. 83 is scheduled to release in theatres on December 24.
