Ranveer Singh has been very busy shooting for his upcoming film ’83, wherein he essays the role of Kapil Dev. After wrapping shoot for the film, he has shaved off his signature mustache that he sported for months. The actor took to Instagram on Monday and shared his clean-shaven look. “Ae Chikne,” Ranveer captioned the photo.

The photograph has already received 11,73,540 likes on the social media platform.

’83 is about Kapil Dev leading the Indian cricket team to a victory against West Indies in the 1983 World Cup. The movie also stars Tahir Raj Bhasin, Ammy Virk, Hardy Sandhu, and Chirag Patil among others.

After finishing the shoot for the film, Kabir Khan had shared his experience about filming the iconic “win” moment. He said, “We shot for five days at the Lord’s stadium in London, entering the members-only Long Room where no camera had ventured before, the dressing rooms and locker rooms, then, stepped out on the balcony where the World Cup was presented to Kapil sir. And guess what? They brought out the real World Cup for Ranveer too. Overwhelmed, he broke down when I shouted ‘Cut’.”

He also mentioned how he wanted to just embody the spirit of Kapil Dev and not create a ‘lookalike’ of him with Ranveer. He said it would have been easy with prosthetics and VFX to do that, but it was about Ranveer looking convincing as a cricketer. Kabir added, “In the last few films, Ranveer’s lived his roles. It’s a rare gift he has, along with the effort he puts in. Even in our film, after 10 minutes you’ll forget it’s Ranveer on screen.”
