The film, which chronicles the Indian Cricket Team’s journey of winning the 1983 World Cup, has faced many delays, owing to the pandemic. Ranveer Singh, who will play the role of veteran cricketer Kapil Dev, announced that the film will release on Christmas.
Ranveer shared a photo with his team, in their outfits as cricketers, and captioned the post, “It’s time………..83 IN CINEMAS THIS CHRISTMAS. Releasing in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.” Deepika Padukone will play the role of Kapil Dev’s wife, Romi Bhatia in the film.
83 was initially meant to release in April 2020, but owing to the pandemic, it was pushed to June 4, 2021. However, because of the second wave of COVID-19 in India, it had to be pushed again.

Meanwhile, Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha, which was meant to release during Christmas 2021, has been shifted to Valentine’s Day 2022. The production house put out a statement, “We welcome the decision of the administration to allow cinemas to re-open from October 22. Due to the delays faced by the pandemic, we will be unable to release our film Laal Singh Chaddha, this Christmas.
