Taking on the mantle of playing a legend like Kapil Dev isn&#39;t easy but if any actor can do it, it&#39;s Ranveer,&quot; Motwane of Phantom films, said in a statement.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIn 1983, India won it&#39;s first cricket World Cup against the West Indies. Dev served as the captain of the Indian cricket team then.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nRanveer has been roped in to portray the life of Dev in the film depicting one of the most pivotal events in Indian cricket history -- the 1983 Cricket World Cup.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe film is being helmed by Kabir Khan and the scripting of the film is finished.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nMotwane added: &quot;I&#39;m sure his portrayal is going to be endearing and brilliant and we can&#39;t wait to see it on screen.&quot;&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nOther details of the film and the star cast are still under wraps.<\/p>\r\n",
