When Kapil Dev gushed about Ranveer
The hard work put in by Ranveer is not a secret to movie buff and the actor was lauded by Kapil, who he will be playing on-screen in '83'. In an interview with a newspaper, the former Indian captain talked about the dedication that the famous thespian has for his job.
"I'd see him (Ranveer) work so hard on bowling, he'd bowl and play for eight hours constantly to understand the rhythm, and would do so in the peak of summer. In such conditions, even cricketers avoid training to prevent injuries. So, I feared for his fitness. Ranveer told me that he wanted to be with me."
"I don't know what he was trying to study, my actions, my manner of talking or pronunciation. During the 10-day stay he was dieting because he had to lose weight. He was also practising with me during that time," Kapil added.
