Here’s why Ranveer Singh starrer 83 won’t have any lip-sync songs

We have been accustomed to the Bollywood songs with videos having the actor lip-syncing the lyrics. But will it look nice if the film is a biopic? That’s what filmmaker Kabir Khan, who delivered worth remembering films like Chak De India and Tiger Zinda Hai thought while helming 83 which is based on cricket legend Kapil Dev and team India’s stunning win at World Cup 1983. The filmmaker has decided not to have any lip-sync songs in the film as audience will not accept the cricketer singing on screen.

The film, 83, features Ranveer Singh as Dev and chronicles the story of how the Indian team won their first cricket World Cup.

"In 83, the music will be definitely important. It's a sports film so the music will be motivational. There will be obviously a motivating anthem and songs of several mood in the film.

"But there won't be any lip-sync songs because I don't think audience will accept Kapil Dev singing on the streets of London. But needless to say it'll be an energetic background score and album," Kabir told reporters.

Pritam Chakraborty is attached as music composer of the film. The filmmaker was speaking at the studio launch of JAM8, founded by Pritam.

Kabir, who has collaborated with the composer in the past in films like New York, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Tubelight, said Pritam is a "unique" talent.

"He can surprise you a lot provided you pin him down and make him sit with you. Once he is in the flow, that's when the magic starts happening. I've really enjoyed working with him. He's a warm person."

Kabir says for 83, the major schedule will be shot in England from May till August.

"The entire team is training. Veteran Test cricketer Balwinder Singh Sandhu is our coach, several cricket experts are coming in. Kapil Dev sir, Madan Lal sir, all the 1983 cricketers will come.

"I'm enjoying a lot. It's like a boot camp. Everyone trains for three hours, there's physical and skill training as well," he added.
