Commenting further on his association with Salman, the filmmaker said, “He has made an immense contribution to my career. I have always been clear that I will not be in the position I am today if it wasn’t for my collaboration with him. And more than, that I have great affection for him. But ultimately it’s all about the script and then we’ll see what happens.” Salman and Kabir have worked on films like Ek Tha Tiger, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Tubelight.
Kabir Khan is currently promoting 83, which stars Ranveer Singh as Kapil Dev, which revisits India’s iconic 1983 Cricket World Cup win. The film has been receiving accolades from all quarters.
Reviewing the film for Indian Express, critic Shubhra Gupta wrote, “The one who takes us past all these niggles is Ranveer Singh, disappearing into his Kapil Dev. ‘Aukaat se zyada khelna padega’, he says, sounding remarkably like Kapil, and goes out and does it. The slightly protruding teeth, the discomfort with English (those self-deprecatory digs at himself are smile-inducing), the deliberate delivery, the never-say-die spirit, is all spot on. (We see the real-life Kapil cheerleading from the stands, and the house comes down). Batting, bowling, being ‘cap’, staying on top: his playing ka koi jawwab nahin.”
