The upcoming sports biopic titled '83 has been the most anticipated film of 2020. Based on the historic win of the Indian cricket team against West Indies in 1983 under the captaincy of Kapil Dev, the project finds itself amidst extreme fanfare much before its release. Ever since the first look of Ranveer Singh as Kapil from the project came upfront, fans have been waiting to watch the magic unveil on screen. Now, after unveiling the much-awaited logo and the look posters of Tahir Raj Bhasin as Sunil Gavaskar and Jiiva as Krishnamachari Srikkanth aka K Srikkanth, the makers, on Monday, released Saqib Saleem's poster as Mohinder Amarnath.
