During the trailer launch Ranveer had said, “For our generation, cricket has always been the glamorous game but it wasn’t actually like that before. When Kabir sir started narrating the story it came as a shock to me. It was surprising to learn the odds against which they had to fight and rise. More than a great cricket story, it is a great human story.”
On the iconic victory, Kapil Dev had said that initially they were not confident, but after winning a few matches they gained some confidence. “We all had a great time in 1983. It is true that we were not confident but after we won a couple of matches we gained some. And in 1983, we finally knew we had a team,” he recalled in a media interaction.
