Sports-based films have always arrested the attention of the audience. In the past few years, Bollywood has produced several successful films based on sports. Be it Gold (2018) Dangal (2016) or M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story (2016), well-made sports movies have always found audiences while raking in the huge moolah for the producers.

If we talk about the present time, almost half a dozen sports-based films are at various stages of production in the Hindi film industry. Some of them include Panga, Sanya and 83. Starring Ranveer Singh as former Indian cricketer Kapil Dev, 83 chronicles India’s unprecedented victory against West Indies in the 1983 ICC Cricket World Cup.

The latest we hear that the makers of the same film are working on an idea for a movie on the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup. According to reports, if the Indian cricket team succeeds in bringing the World Cup home, then there will be another film based on the victory. “The talks for the movie have already begun where Madhu (Mantena) is super excited to get the movie going. He has started further talks on this new project as well,” a source reveals to an entertainment portal.

When contacted, Madhu Mantena confirmed the development, saying, “We are making the film to mark the iconic 1983 victory. After 83, if India wins the World Cup this year in 2019, we would like to make a film on the win.”

Directed by well-known filmmaker Kabir Khan, 83 also stars Deepika Padukone in an important role. Tahir Raj Bhasin, Saqib Saleem, Jiiva, Pankaj Tripathi, Ammy Virk and Harrdy Sandhu also feature in the movie. 83 is scheduled to hit the silver screen on 10th April, 2020.

"Bollywood is stuck in the 1980s": Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor slams industry’s obsession with stars & big-budget flops

Bollywood has been grappling with an identity crisis, with many questioning whether the industry's golden era is over. A recent social media debate reignited the discussion, claiming that the industry is in decline due to the absence or sporadic appearances of major stars like Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan. Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor, actor and son of Anil Kapoor, responded with a sharp critique of Bollywood’s over-reliance on big-budget, star-driven films, arguing that it is time for a shift toward strong storytelling.

A user on X posted, "Bollywood is finished. Salman doesn’t want to act, Aamir has no films, Akshay has a dozen films but none that matter, SRK does a film every two years, and Ajay is playing it safe. Ranbir Kapoor seems like the only one carrying the industry forward."

Val Kilmer, Hollywood icon and 'Top Gun' star, dies at 65 after years of health struggles

Val Kilmer, the celebrated actor known for his roles in Top Gun, Batman Forever, and The Doors, has passed away at the age of 65.

Kilmer was a versatile performer who made his mark in Hollywood with a mix of blockbuster hits and critically acclaimed roles. Born in Los Angeles in 1959, Kilmer’s passion for acting led him to the prestigious Juilliard School, where he became one of its youngest-ever students. His career began with comedic roles in Top Secret! (1984) and Real Genius (1985), but he soon transitioned to more intense characters, firming his reputation as a serious actor. His performances in Tombstone (1993) as Doc Holliday and Heat (1995) alongside Al Pacino and Robert De Niro further showcased his talent and range.
