Its not a biopic on me Kapil Dev

26 Sep 2017

KapilDev is not happy when I call to congratulate him on the bio-pic that all ofMumbai is talking about. First of all, it is not a film on me. So it is not my bio-pic. It is apparently a film on the 1983 World Cup. Not about me, says the legendary cricketer with gritted teeth. But wasnt he an integral part of the 1983 World Cup? I was! snaps backKapilPaaji, But so wasSunilGavaskar,MohinderAmarnathand so many others. So the film will probably be as much about them as me. And how doesKapilDev feel about Ranveer Singh playing him in the film that Kabir Khan will direct? Ive no idea about that. All I know is that theyre making a film on the 1983 World Cup. I repeat, its not about me. And weve all been invited to be there inMumbaifor the formal announcement on 27 September. So I guess all of us will be there.
