Ranveer Singh-starrer ’83 will have Sahil Khattar recreate the role of Syed Kirmani!
Chandigarh is not new to Sahil Khattar’s name. Starting as an RJ on a local FM station, Sahil always had his eyes set on the glam city Mumbai. Graduate from DAV College, Sector 10, Chandigarh, Sahil is a Bronze medalist in roller hockey, a game that’s his passion. Having made a name for himself on YouTube channel Being Indian and then going on to have his own YouTube channel ‘Khattarnaak’, Sahil sure has come a long way.
Syed Kirmani was a well-known wicketkeeper who played for the Indian cricketer team who’s also awarded as the best wicketkeeper for his stellar performance at the 1983 Cricket World Cup.
The former Indian cricketer Syed Kirmani was a lower order batsman, the team India would rely upon. Sir Kirmani’s unbroken 126 partnership for the ninth wicket with Kapil Dev against Zimbabwe in the 1983 World Cup contributing 26 was one of the critical moments in the history of cricket.
Tracing the historic victory of 1983 world cup, Kabir Khan’s upcoming directorial will star Ranveer Singh as the former captain of the Indian Cricket Team Kapil Dev. The film ’83 would be Ranveer Singh’s first trilingual film to be made in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
