Mumbai, November 29 - Ranveer Singh-fronted the upcoming cricket biopic, "83" will have its world premiere at the Saudi Arabia's Red Sea International Film Festival (6-15 December). It will be the closing film of the festival on Dec. 15, where Deepika Padukone, Kapil Dev, and director Kabir Khan will be presented.

Based on India's first world cup win in the 1983 ODI world cup, "83" will feature Ranveer Singh as the legendary cricketer Kapil Dev, who led the Indian side to glory. The movie is presented by Reliance Entertainment, Phantom Films, and Kabir Khan Films, and will screen ahead of its release across the Gulf region on December 23 and worldwide release on 24 December.



Kabir Khan said (according to deadline), "I'm beyond excited to unveil "83" at the Red Sea International Film Festival, the opening of cinemas in Saudi Arabia is a fantastic opportunity for filmmakers in India and across the world. To go on this journey, and to bring the story to screen with legends, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, and cricket icon Kapil Dev was like winning the world cup for me".

Edouard Waintrop, Artistic Director of the inaugural RedSeaIFF added, "83 is such a monumental film that will capture the public imagination, in Jeddah and across the world. A true celebration of one of the greatest underdog stories in international sporting history, it continues to inspire generations of young people, and the incredible Hindi-language film is sure to do the same. We are thrilled to host the cast and crew, as well sporting icon Kapil Dev at the Red Sea International Film Festival for one of the most anticipated films of the year".

Ranveer Singh had trained with real cricketers for months to understand the basics of the game and to fit in to play the iconic all-rounder on the big screen. It is arguably one of the most-awaited Hindi films, which is ready for release for a long time now. It features an ensemble cast including Deepika Padukone, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Jiiva, Saqib Saleem, Harrdy Sandhu, Ammy Virk, Pankaj Tripathi, Boman Irani, Nishant Dahiya, and Sahil Khattar in the roles of cricketers who played their part in the 1983 world cup.
