An event on the same is expected to be held on September 27, where the film would be announced. A source informed, “A mammoth event is being planned to announce the film on September 27. The makers hope that the Indian players who brought the cup home will grace the occasion.”
PR Man Singh, India’s team manager during the 1983 World Cup and the former secretary of the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA), has signaled that he would be present at the event along with 14 members of the World Cup-winning team.
