Of late, Bollywood has been buzzing with rumours that Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, who got married in November last year after a courtship of about 5 years, are set to reunite onscreen for the forthcoming film 83. However, if sources are to be believed, no onscreen reunion is happening for the newlywed couple anytime soon.
There were reports that the makers of 83 had approached the Padmaavat (2018) actress to play Kapil Dev’s wife Romi Bhatia in the film which stars Ranveer Singh in the role of the legendary cricketer. However, it seems that Padukone is not a part of the film.
“83 is a boys’ film. The focus is on Kapil Dev and his team bringing home the World Cup. Ranveer plays Kapil Dev. While Deepika playing his wife Romi sounds tempting, it is just not true. Kapil Dev’s wife’s role will be very limited in this film and Deepika is a huge brand. She wouldn’t do any film just because her husband is in it,” reveals a source.
Well, it will be really interesting to see that if not Deepika Padukone which actress comes onboard to play Ranveer Singh’s wife in the much-awaited film.
83 will be directed by Kabir Khan. The film, which begins production this year, is set to release on 10th April, 2020.
