Would Deepika Padukone be billed as a guest star in 83?

18 Mar 2020

Anyone who is familiar with the script of Kabir Khans sports drama would know that there is little room for female representation in the plot. It is essentially devoted to portraying the legendary Kapil Devs historic win at the 1983 World Cup, while the other cricketers on the field are the secondary driving-force of the story. So what made the exceptionally choosy Deepika Padukone (she has said no to over 130 scripts during the last one year) say yes to playing Kapil Devs wife Roma in 83? Was it her husband Ranveer Singhs presence in the film? Nah! Sources say it is just a guest appearance. Deepika agreed to do it because she was paid her full market price for an extended cameo. In all likelihood she is going to be billed a guest star in 83, says the source. Enjoy the Ranveer-Deepika pairs presence in 83 when it hits theatres. You wont be seeing this real-life couple in any other film in the near future. Deepika and Ranveer have taken a joint decision to not take up any film together unless the offer is really worth it. Familiarity, as we all know, tempts audiences out of the theatre.
