Induri is unwilling to reveal the reason behind the directorial baton being handed over to Kabir Khan, while Chauhan took credit for the story alone
A still from 83
While Kabir Khan has been the face of Ranveer Singh’s 83, producer Vishnu Induri’s film was originally to be helmed by Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan. Induri reveals that he conceptualised the film in 2013, and, along with Chauhan, knocked at Kapil Dev’s door on several occasions to get his nod. “He liked that we were so persuasive,” says Induri of the multiple interactions. “We narrated the first draft to him, and were very happy with it. Without Kapil sir’s approval, we wouldn’t have gone ahead with the project. The initial research was done by Sanjay. He travelled all over the country and interacted with Kapil sir multiple times. Following that, he wrote the final draft,” he says of the National Award-winning director.
