Unveiling the official logo of the film, the actress penned a heartfelt note. She stated that it has been an absolute honour to play a part in the film that captures one of the most iconic moments in sporting history. "Ive seen very closely the role a wife plays in the success of her husband’s professional and personal aspirations in my mother and 83 for me in many ways is an ode to every woman who puts her husband’s dream before her own", read an excerpt from her post. 

Director of the film, Kabir Khan’s 83 tells the story of the Indian cricket team’s surprise win at the World Cup in 1983, where India beat the tournament’s favorite West Indies, in an unexpected turn of events. Making that possible was the captainship of Kapil Dev, who motivated his men in blue to aspire for the impossible and put in their best.
