As per the sources close to the production house, “So far, Kabir has not locked the lead actress. Two other actresses have been finalized, one is a newcomer and another has been suggested by Ranveer. If Katrina comes on board, it will be her first film opposite Ranveer.” The character of Romi Devi is pivotal to the storyline as it is quite a well-known fact that his wife plays as a support system in player’s life and Kapil Dev also mentioned many instances from their married life, which clearly signifies how much importance the character has, even for a film based on the sports event.
