The actor is popular Tamil star Jiiva, who has garnered immense fan following with his performances in Ko and Gorilla.
Jiiva confirmed the news and told Midday, "I began training for the part last month. (Former Indian cricketer) Balwinder Singh Sandhu had visited me here in Chennai to notice my batting form and see how well-versed I was about cricket. Since then, we have been in touch regularly. Since I must pick up the nuances of batting correctly, I have been exchanging videos of my progress with [his team] regularly."
Talking about the physical training, Jiiva said, "For this film, I am doing [outdoor] exercises instead of training in the gym, which is also aiding my prep for '83. I have a personal trainer who is helping me build my stamina. The workout routine is intense and there is a fair amount of cardiovascular training involved," says the actor, adding that he must shed 7 kilos to look "lean and young" for the part. "[I'm focusing on] getting [Srikkanth's] nuances and body language on point. I have started watching his videos online, and those of the '83 matches as well."
