Ranveer Singh has always impressed us with the kind of roles he chooses to portray onscreen. Yet another interesting movie in the pipeline is the Kapil Dev biopic which we are eagerly waiting for. The makers have tried to keep all details about the film under wraps all this while.

However, now, it is being said that Nawazuddin Siddiqui has likely been roped in to play Ranveer's coach aka manager in the upcoming biopic. Kabir, when contacted, told Mirror, “It’s too early to comment so I won’t confirm or deny anything.” Considering how brilliant Nawaz is if director Kabir Khan manages to get him onboard, and that too with Ranveer, it will definitely be one helluva movie!

Kabir Khan was earlier quoted as saying by PTI, “As a young schoolboy when I watched India win the 1983 Cricket World Cup. I had no idea that from that day onwards cricket in India will change forever.” “As a filmmaker, for me, the journey to that win, filled with raw energy and sheer passion of that young Indian team, is probably one of the most exciting stories I have worked on,” he added. The film titled ’83 will be releasing on August 30 next year.

In other news, the actor has two big films coming up - Gully Boy and Simmba.
