Following this, the picture did several rounds on social media given the star's resemblance with the cricketer, and there is no denying that Ranveer looks the part. However, although the credit goes to his makeup artists, Twitter cannot help but laud Ranveer for carrying the look so well.
The sports drama film is directed by Kabir Khan and produced by Vishnu Vardhan Induri, Sajid Nadiadwala and Madhu Mantena. It also stars Deepika Padukone, Harrdy Sandhu, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Saqib Saleem, Amrita Puri, Jiiva, Ammy Virk,, Pankaj Tripathi, Sahil Khattar and Chirag Patil, reprising the India national cricket team that won the 1983 Cricket World Cup.

What a Transformer Man!🔥

That’s brilliant, Ranveer. This looks like the innings of 175 played at Tunbridge Wells v Zimbabwe.
