Tendulkar praises Ranveer Singh’s ’83 performance

While Ranveer Singh’s latest sports drama ’83’ failed to make the mark in the box office, the actor’s performance as former Indian cricket team captain Kapil Dev has garnered a lot of praise from all corners. Directed by Kabir Khan, the film chronicled Team India’s victory at the 1983 World Cup, under Dev’s captaincy.
Recent praise came from a rather esteemed and unexpected source; Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar himself. Tendulkar took to social media to praise Singh, and wrote, “A brilliant ‘all-round’ display by @RanveerOfficial in 83. Really soaked in all the @kapildev paaji traits to make us reminisce the iconic moments of our first-ever World Cup victory. I know the win really inspired the little boy.”
A delighted Ranveer responded, “And that little boy went on to inspire generations! Thank you Master! This means everything!” Despite glowing reviews, a stellar cast, stunning performances, and cricket blended with nationalism, ’83’ failed to create the expected box office impact.
On the work front, Ranveer Singh has several films in the pipeline including ‘Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani’, ‘Circus’, and ‘Jayeshbhai Jordaar’.
