Speaking of his lead actor Ranveer Singh who plays the role of Indian Cricket Team Captain Kapil Dev, Kabir Khan said that the actor emulated the Captain. The first match of the 83 World Cup was India versus West Indies, where they actually defeated the West Indies and that was the biggest upset, and then from there on, of course, the whole journey to the ups and downs," he told Bollywood Hungama. West Indies had not lost a single match in the history of the World Cup till then. Because till 83, India never won a single match in the history of the World Cup. They said, this team should not even be invited to the World Cup, because actually, they bring down the level of the World Cup. I went there to the archives and look through the newspapers, almost every London newspaper just wrote them off. I mean, it was 24 years old, landed in London. "In 83, when this bunch, I call them a bunch of boys because they which was really young team. And it's also a classic story of an underdog today, it's very difficult for us to understand the Indian cricket team as underdogs. Right? And there are some beautiful tales around it. He was one day joking 'People always used to say that Indians earlier were never good fielders and today you see the boys jumping all over sliding, slipping.' He said 'Before we dive for the ball, we used to think who's going to wash our pants? So if I can make it without diving, let me just pick it up without diving.' That's the ethos we're talking about. Recalling an incident shared by ace cricketer Sunil Gavaskar, he mentioned, "So there are people like Sunil Gavaskar. You save and don't wash it for two, three days you can buy a new pair of jeans, because then in 15 pounds used to get a new pair of jeans." So you actually have the Indian National Team cricket team, not wanting to wash its clothes, because it's too expensive. They were paid 15 pounds a day in which they had to have their lunch, their dinner, make their phone calls home, wash their clothes. They talk about a time when they had no money. But this is talking about a time that had a completely different ethos. Now today, you tell the youth Indian cricketer, they'll all imagine a millionaire, you know, driving his Ferraris. Talking about the hurdles Indian Cricket Team faced in 1983, the filmmaker revealed, "Our audience comprises mostly of the youth. But it's probably one of the best stories I've ever heard in my life," he said in the interview. And I dare say it's probably, it's a true story. For two days I was thinking, what is that? Why did I get that lump in my throat? And that's when I realized this is an amazing human story. I won't even call it complete, it was more material and like, put together and I got a lump in my throat by the end of it. So when I got the material, I realized that 'Okay, I would probably be the best person to read this material, because I'll never get swayed by the cricket in it.' I read it. I must mention here that I am not a cricket buff I'm not one of those mad cricket fanatics who will sit for five days watching a test match. It just so happened that with The Forgotten Army, it came to me, and 83, this material came to me and I read it. We all know these are absolutely fascinating stories, but nobody attempted to make them. These stories have been in front of our faces, one for about 70 years, and the other for 35 years. I feel so privileged and blessed that two of such amazing stories of The Forgotten Army and 83 have, in a way, have chosen me. I think sometimes the stories choose you. "I often say this, that sometimes, of course, as filmmakers, we are always seeking out stories.
