Ammy Virk is known for his roles in Nikka Zaildar, Qismat and Angrej, in the Punjabi film industry.
Madhu Mantena, co-producer of 83, who is glad to have Ammy as a part the cast, said, “We are in the process of casting and will rope in actors from film industries across India in the true spirit of the film”, reports Mumbai Mirror.
83 is to be shot in four months, from May to August.
Punjabi singer-actor Ammy Virk, who has featured in romantic-comedy films like Nikka Zaildar 2 and Sat Shri Akaal England, says it’s tough for experimental movies in his language to create fireworks at the box office.

Asked about the common combination of singing and acting in Punjab, Ammy told IANS in a telephonic interview from Mumbai: “We have a strong fan following. So when we enter movies, it becomes a bit easy to promote ourselves and the films.”
