The first trailer for ’83’, the much awaited project of director Kabir Khan was released today. The sports drama is based on India’s underdog victory against the reigning champions West Indies at the 1983 cricket world cup. The long-delayed project stars Ranveer Singh as former Indian captain Kapil Dev.
The 4-minute trailer opens with the commentator mentioning how the Indian cricket team must be recovering from the double thrashing they received from West Indies and Australia at India vs Zimbabwe 1983 match. What follows is the journey of how the underdogs overcome all odds to emerge as champions at the 1983 World Cup. The rivalry between India and the West Indies team, which was at its height at the time, is given a lot of attention here.
