Playing living legend poses unique challenges: Ranveer Singh

TIL Desk Bollywood/ He has played a quirky wedding planner, a street-smart con man, a ruthless invader, a rapper, and now he is diving into the role of real life cricket icon Kapil Dev. Actor Ranveer Singh says essaying an icon like the former Indian skipper comes with a set of challenges, which he is well prepared to face.

Ranveer has embarked upon the journey of “’83”, a Bollywood film in which he will be seen as Kapil Dev. Before leaving for London with the ‘squad’ to begin the shoot, Ranveer told: “I feel prepared and less anxious than I was when I started.”

“This is the longest I have prepared for any role. I have been preparing essentially since January, which makes it about six months. I have done three weeks, three and a half weeks, four weeks, six weeks, but six months preparing for a character is unique… But then, it’s a unique film in itself,” added the actor, who was suited, booted and moustached for the role.
