Ranveer Singh has recently wrapped up the shooting schedule for his upcoming movie titled – ’83 – which is a biopic based on the life of legendary Indian cricketer Kapil Dev.
For the movie, which talks about the first time India won the coveted Cricket World Cup in 1983, Ranveer pulled off an uncanny resemblance to Dev – even mimicking the veteran cricketer’s iconic batting-a-sixer “Natraj” pose.
Ranveer posted a still from the movie, scheduled to be released in April 2020 on his social media accounts after which, netizens broke the internet with reactions on Monday.

Fans went berserk noting the aggression on Ranveer’s face, in the picture which seemed to have reminded cricket fans of the former Indian skipper’s attitude on the field.

Earlier this year, Ranveer’s musical drama film “Gully Boy” was chosen as India's official entry for the 2019 Oscars.
The movie was based on the life of a slum-dog rapper.
Ranveer’s transformation into menacing emperor Alauddin Khalji – who was the second and most powerful ruler of the Khalji dynasty, ruling the Delhi Sultanate in the Indian subcontinent – in the controversial film “Padmavat”, also left a lasting impact on fans across the world.
