Actor Ranveer Singh had a fanboy moment when he met former English football great Alan Shearer. The actor shared a picture with latter.
Sharing the picture, he wrote: “Footballing royalty! Good times with @alanshearer @plforindia.” In the picture, Ranveer and Alan share a hearty laugh together. Alan replied to the post saying, “Great meeting you and a brilliant afternoon.” Ranveer also shared a boomerang video as his Instagram stories. The post obviously got a lot of love -- the Premier League India’s Instagram wrote “Legend meets legend” while a lot of fans dropped heart and fire emojis.
Ranveer will see his next film, 83, releasing April this year. The film, directed by Kabir Khan, chronicles India’s unexpected win at the 1983 cricket World Cup, which saw minions India take on the might of West Indies and beat them in the finals. The team was led by former cricketer Kapil Dev, who was instrumental in motivating a lacklustre team India into believing the unbelievable, beating Clive Lloyd-led West Indies.
Early this year, the makers and Ranveer shared the first -look posters of all the principle characters -- names included Sunil Valson, Ravi Shastri, Dilip Vengsarkar, Balwinder Singh Sandhu, Syed Kirmani, Madan Lal, Roger Binny, Kirti Azad, Sandeep Patil, Yashpal Sharma, K Srikkanth, Mohinder Amarnath, K Srikanth and Sunil Gavaskar. He had shared picture of himself as Kapil Dev on his birthday in July last year.
