Ranveer Singh’s film 83, based on India’s 1983 World Cup victory and its hero, Kapil Dev, is finally set to hit the theatres this Christmas. Bollywood star Ranveer Singh announced the news today on his Twitter handle. The announcement delighted all the fans, who erupted in joy. Actress Huma Qureshi was also very happy with the news, as she commented, “Yaaaayyyyy finally”.
The film was originally scheduled to be released on June 4, 2021, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the release date was pushed back. With the vaccination drive being at its peak in the country now, movie theatres are reopening.
All theatres in Maharashtra, the Bollywood industry’s heartland, will reopen on October 22, a few weeks before Diwali. Thus after this announcement, the director and other members have decided to release the movie on Christmas.
