The movie is set to release on Friday, December 24. Ranveer when discussing his role had explained in a press statement, “He (Kapil Dev) has a very unique bowling action and his bio-mechanics are very different to him. My physique is very different from his so I had to modify my physicality drastically to attain it. It took so much time to polish the action. Initially, my body was too huge because I was coming off of the shoot of Simmba. Ranveer also asserted that their coach noticed that his body was too heavy and he sent him away for a month just to improve his physicality to bring it closer to Kapil’s athleticism and then once he accomplished that, he began to make some headway. He was dabbling in cricket for 4 hours a day for 6 months and doing physical conditioning for 2 hours a day for those 6 months. Four months of prep and 2-3 months of the shoot, he put in a lot of hours.”
