When asked if it was the idea of the makers of ’83 to have the screening at Lord’s, Kabir Khan revealed that it was the management of Lord’s Cricket Ground who approached the team of ’83 with the idea. The final scene of the film was shot at the ground, which made it a perfect fit for the screening. The director also added that screening films at places where they were filmed has become a popular trend in recent times. “It’ll be like a nice two-day picnic. There’ll be Indian food available to the patrons,” he said.
Sitting on the turf of Lord’s Cricket Ground is a unique and exciting aspect of the screening for ’83, according to director Kabir Khan. He explained that it will give viewers the opportunity to sit comfortably on the ground itself, rather than in the stands, while enjoying the film on the grand screen. This rare experience is sure to make the screening even more memorable for cricket fans and moviegoers.
Apart from Kabir Khan, Kapil Dev will also be present at the screening. It remains to be seen whether other cast members will attend the event. The cast of 83 boasts of some of the biggest names in Bollywood. Alongside Ranveer Singh, who plays the lead role of Kapil Dev, the movie also features Deepika Padukone, Pankaj Tripathi, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Ammy Virk, Saqib Saleem, Hardy Sandhu, Sahil Khattar and many others.
