Kapil Dev, Madan Lal, Mohinder Amarnath, Kirti Azad, Krishmachari Srikkanth, Syed Kirmani, Yashpal Sharma, Balwinder Sandhu and even Sunil Gavaskar who had to skip the earlier meet because it was his 67th birthday, will be on board as mentors to the actors,” the publication had reported.

As per the reports of Zee news, Kabir Khan will start working on the film as soon as he ends his commitment with Salman Khan’s upcoming movie “Tubelight. Earlier in September, it was reported by the Mumbai Mirror that Kapil Dev and the others from the victorious team will guide the production team.
