After releasing the two posters in the past two days, the makers of the upcoming film 83 have unveiled a new poster today. While the previous two posters featured Tahir Raj Bhasin as Sunil Gavaskar and Jiiva as Krishnamachari Srikkanth, the latest character poster features Saqib Saleem as Mohinder Amarnath. Saleem can be seen sporting cricket uniform in the poster which has large logo of the film in the background.
The makers took to the Twitter handle of the film to share the poster and wrote, “He’s the devil who drove us to victory. Meet Jimpa, the comeback king, Mohinder Jimmy Amarnath! This Is 83”
