Ranveer Singh is currently prepping up for his next big film, '83, a Kabir Khan directorial, based on India's win in the 1983 Cricket World Cup. The actor is in full swing to look and play like legend Kapil Dev who led the team to victory back in 83. Now, according to latest media reports, Ranveer is said to live with Kapil Dev to soak his personality and behaviour. 

A source told a leading daily, “No actor has ever lived with the person he is playing on screen. Of course, in cases like Sanju, you do have Ranbir Kapoor trying to study Sanjay Dutt from close quarters, but Ranveer is going a step ahead. He is going to live with Kapil to soak in his personality and behaviour. He is keen to pick up the latter’s finer character traits. Ranveer is supremely excited about the challenge and wants to again deliver a performance that he hopes will leave an indelible mark. Kapil became a legend after he rallied the team to win the 1983 World Cup.”

The source added, “There’s a lot of curiosity about this incredible untold story of one of India’s greatest victories and Ranveer wants to do justice to this anticipation. He has a set plan for his Delhi trip. He wants to see, live and breathe Kapil before he starts shooting.”  

Ranveer confirmed, “I’m looking forward to spending more time with Kapil sir. He is kind, generous, warm and funny. I had a memorable two days with him in Dharamshala. I’m going to spend more time with him in Delhi to learn more about him. It’s a first-of-its-kind exercise in my acting process where I’ll be studying the man himself in the flesh for my onscreen portrayal of him. I’m thrilled to have this opportunity to learn about life from a true legend.”
