Ranveer Singh to shed the kilos for ’83’ post ‘Simmba’

For Rohit Shetty’s ‘Simmba’, which releases this month, Ranveer Singh put on some weight for the cop role. However, it seems the actor will be shedding the kilos for his next movie, ’83’.

Singh will be taking on the role of cricketer Kapil Dev for the film, which is directed by Kabir Khan. A source reportedly told Deccan Chronicle, “Kapil did not have a big build and so Ranveer has to get his body in order. He had bulked up a lot for the Alauddin character in Padmaavat and then lost a few kilos for Gully Boy where he essays the role of rapper. The he bulked up again a bit more for Simmba and now he has to lose that weight again”.

Changing his body shape won’t be all Singh is going to be doing to fit into the role. The source continues, “Kapil had a unique style of holding and delivering the ball and he had a few famous shots like his Natraj shot. Akin to Sushant practicing to take wickets and play the helicopter shot like MS Dhoni, Ranveer Singh will also need to get those nuances right to make the audiences feel that he has done justice to the character”.
