Ranveer Singh’s ‘83 to be the first ever movie screened at Lord’s

Ranveer Singh starrer ‘83 (2021) will be the first movie to be screened at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground. The Kabir Khan directorial revolved around India’s first-ever Cricket World Cup win at Lord’s in 1983.

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Khan said “Lord’s management reached out to us. They proposed the idea since they felt that ‘83 is an iconic film whose final was shot at Lord’s. And I guess it’s a trend nowadays to show films in places where it has been filmed. For instance, there have been screenings of The Shawshank Redemption (1994) which took place in prisons.”

When asked if Ranveer and other actors would attend the screening, Kabir answered, “I am not sure. It all depends on their dates and whether they are available. But I’ll be there along with Kapil Dev and Balwinder Singh Sandhu. After the screening, we’ll interact with viewers and answer their queries.”

‘83 also starred Harrdy Sandhu, Ammy Virk, Deepika Padukone, and Pankaj Tripathi in prominent roles. It is streaming on Netflix.
