Thursday, 26th June 2014, 04:30 PM IST A happy memory etched in our minds is when three decades ago, the captain of the Indian eleven, Kapil Dev, held the World Cup trophy high for the world to see. India’s victory at Lord’s is one landmark achievement that whoever witnessed, will never let go.
And now, a film is being made on India’s triumph so that the current generation may witness how our country acquired dominance in world cricket.
Vishnu Vardhan Induri, Founder of Celebrity Cricket League will be producing the movie. He says, “It's bizarre that even three decades after that historic victory, we haven't produced a single film that captures the achievement. In many ways, that win was instrumental in turning cricket into a religion in India. I believe it's a story that needs to be told.”
The film will be helmed by National Award winning director Sanjay Puran Singh. Sanjay said, “We are in touch with the members of the 1983 team and they will lend us full support. The project will hit the floors in the first quarter of 2015.” Legendary cricketer Kapil Dev also expressed his joy at the making of a film on the 1983 win. He said, “Like most of my teammates, I am glad that a film is being made on our journey during the 1983 World Cup. It's heartening to see the trend of movies being made on sports,which I am sure will inspire the youth.” |
