Another name to the cast of ’83 has been added and it is none other than the critically acclaimed natural actor Pankaj Tripathi. An official announcement has been made for the same. Tripathi will be seen in the role of Man Singh, manager of the 1983 World Cup-winning cricket team.
The twitter handle created by the film’s title shared the news with a picture of the actor and a caption, “The man behind the champions, #ManSingh, will be played by Actor Extraordinaire”
