The Virat Kohli-led team India is currently battling it out to claim the trophy for a third time after 1983 and 2011. The publication quoted a source as saying, "Kabir has designed the schedule in such a way that the unit will finish filming pivotal matches by mid-July. By then, the ongoing World Cup will wrap up. The unit will then head to Lord's to shoot the 1983 World Cup final, which forms the climax of the sports drama. Deepika Padukone, who plays Kapil Dev's wife Romi Bhatia, will join them in England to shoot the sequences."
The report further cites a well-known anecdote about Romi, who had famously exited the stadium on the day of the match, presuming India would lose. Once India began taking wickets against the tournament favourite - West Indies, she tried getting back in but was denied entry since she had given away her pass. The film will feature that scene in the climax.
