Ranveer Singh is a huge admirer of Pritam's work and seems like the actor always wanted to collaborate with Pritamda and with his next, '83, his wishes have been fulfilled.

Pritam is one of the most sought-after artistes in the industry and every actor wishes to have him compose for them. In this way, Kabir Khan has given a gift to Ranveer Singh, as his wishes have been fulfilled by roping in the prominent music composer in the team '83.

With the film already creating a buzz amongst the fans, director Kabir Khan wants to give the audience not just a memorable cinematic experience, but also an iconic anthem which will be helmed by Pritam.

Sharing on his social media handle Ranveer Singh wrote, "We got an all-star Pritamda, it's an honour to be collaborating with you on @83thefilm Let's make an anthem! Let's make it iconic! @kabirkhankk @ipritamofficial@mantenamadhu @vishnuinduri@reliance.entertainment"

Tracing the historic victory of the 1983 cricket world cup, Kabir Khan's upcoming directorial will star Ranveer Singh as the former captain of the Indian Cricket Team Kapil Dev. The film '83 would be Ranveer Singh and Kabir Khan's first trilingual film to be made in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

Ranveer Singh recently took to Instagram to share a black and white picture of himself looking all retro in a moustachioed look and a swept-back hairstyle. The actor looks stylish and dashing in the look, and it makes us wonder if this is indeed his first look as Kapil Dev from '83.
