Mumbai: On the release day of his cricket drama ’83’ on Friday, actor Ranveer Singh shared an adorable picture of his mother Anju Bhavnani with the actual 1983 World Cup that the Indian Cricket Team had won.
Alongside the image, Ranveer wrote, “Hum jeet gaye, Mumma! (ps: that’s the actual cup!).”
Ranveer’s mother was recently spotted at ’83’ grand premiere in Mumbai.
Directed by Kabir Khan, ’83’ revolves around India’s historical 1983 cricket World Cup win. Ranveer has essayed the role of Kapil Dev, captain of the World Cup-winning team.
It was on June 25, 1983, when India lifted their first-ever cricket World Cup title, defeating West Indies in the finals by 43 runs at the Lord’s Cricket Ground. It’s now been 38 years since India’s triumph in the tournament.
Interestingly, Ranveer’s wife and actor Deepika Padukone will be seen playing Romi, Kapil Dev’s wife in ’83’.
Pankaj Tripathi, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Saqib Saleem, Harrdy Sandhu and Ammy Virk among others are also a part of the film.
