Touted to be the biggest film of 2020, all eyes were on '83‘s release in April which was delayed due to the ongoing pandemic.

'83 is helmed by Kabir Khan and traces India’s historic Cricket World Cup win in 1983 and is one of the most awaited films.
On October 12, 2020, Shibasish Sarkar, CEO, Reliance Entertainment, co-producer of '83 had confirmed that the sports drama will release on Christmas this year. However, now Shibasish has revealed the film is pushed further as Christmas release seems unlikely.
