PeepingMoon.com had informed its readers on Sunday that Deepika Padukone will play the role of Kapil Dev's wife Romi Dev in Kabir Khan's '83 starring Ranveer Singh and will also get the co-producer credit. The actress was offered the role of Romi Dev months ago but Deepika, who was busy with Meghna Gulzar’s Chhapaak in which she plays acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal, took her time arriving at a decision. The actress had then given the confirmation saying that she is excited to join the team of the film.
Now, Ranveer Singh has shared a picture of himself with Deepika and director Kabir Khan and captioned it as, "*drum roll*
All smiles as All-star @deepikapadukone joins the #83squad !!!.
The actor shared another picture and captioned it as, "Who better to play My Wifey than My Wifey?!
@deepikapadukone plays Romi Dev in @83thefilm !!! "
In another picture with Deepika and Kabir, Ranveer wrote, "Good times in Glasgow".
'83 is all set to release on April 20, 2020.
