Let’s see how many feats 83 achieve for Ranveer Singh in its theatrical run.
Speaking more about the film, for hairstylist Darshan Yewalekar, the man behind recreating former Indian skipper and cricket legend Kapil Dev’s hairstyle for Ranveer Singh, every strand and every wave of hair required nothing less than perfection.
Ranveer has been Darshan’s Muse for more than ten years and the two have worked on multiple films together, but this was the first time they were striving to pay tribute to a living legend.
Revealing how he understood the brief and the challenge that came with it, Darshan said to IANS: “When Kabir sir first met me, his brief was very straightforward. He just said, ‘Let’s replicate ‘the’ hair.’ Ranveer and I knew we had to be as close as possible to how Kapil sir looked in 1983 and we went through volumes of vintage pictures and almost four to five look tests to get the famous curls right.”
