Second schedule of Ranveer Singh starrer ’83 to start on THIS date

A few days ago, Kabir Khan and his team of ’83 wrapped up the first schedule of the film in London. And now, they are all set for the second and the final schedule that will take place in Mumbai. According to a report in a tabloid, the second schedule will start on Tuesday, 10th September 2019.

It will be a three-week schedule and will be wrapped up in the first week of October. Talking about it, Kabir Khan said, “We will be shooting off and on with the entire team. During this schedule, we will be filming some of the interiors that no longer exist in London and have built sets for the same.”


“The cricketing portions were completed in London. This will be the final schedule with the actors after which we will only be shooting what was happening around the country during World Cup,” he added.

The movie stars Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone in the lead roles and while talking about the two starring in the film, Kabir Khan said, “They are both super actors and marriage doesn’t make any difference to the way they act. It has just given them another level of comfort. Deepika was around our sets for more than just the days when she was shooting, not only because she’s one of our producers but as there is this sense of comfort.”

Ranveer will be playing the role of Kapil Dev and while talking about the actor’s look, the filmmaker said, “We worked on the look for over a month and decided to keep it minimalistic. One can’t be wearing heavy prosthetics while playing cricket, and for us, it was important that Ranveer plays cricket while in the look.”

’83 is based on India’s victory at the 1983 World Cup and it will hit the screens on 10th April 2020.

National Trust pledges equality in access to nature and heritage

THE National Trust – which wants more Eastern Eye readers to visit its properties, apply for jobs with the organisation, become curators and offer to become volunteers – is marking its 130th anniversary by announcing an ambitious 10-year plan “to end unequal access to nature, beauty and history”.

The trust, it emphasised, “is for everyone”. Its director general, Hilary McGrady, said: “For 130 years, the National Trust has responded to the crises and challenges of the time. Today, nature is declining before our eyes and climate change is threatening homes and habitats on a colossal scale. Meanwhile, millions of people can’t enjoy the benefits that green space and heritage bring.”

UK to lead European growth in 2025, predicts IMF

The IMF has raised its forecast for British growth for 2025 by 0.1 percentage points to 1.6 per cent, making it the third-strongest among the Group of Seven advanced economies after the US and Canada.

‘Events in 2024 have shown that social cohesion cannot be an afterthought’

THE past year was marked by significant global events, and the death and devastation in Ukraine, the Middle East and Sudan – with diplomatic efforts failing to achieve peace – have tested our values.

The involvement of major powers in proxy wars and rising social and economic inequalities have deepened divisions and prolonged suffering, with many losing belief in humanity. The rapid social and political shifts – home and abroad – will continue to challenge our values and resilience in 2025 and beyond.
