Kabir Khan has started preparation for his ambitious film "83" about Indian cricket team's first World Cup win and the filmmaker says the challenge for him is to stay true to the real story and yet make it engaging. The film chronicle India's 1983 Cricket World Cup win under Kapil Dev's captainship, when the team defeated West Indies in the final to clinch their first-ever World Cup trophy.

"The most challenging thing about '83' is how to stay true to an iconic event that everybody over 40 has seen and remembers, everybody who is a cricket buff knows about it. How to capture the feel and stay true to exactly what happened in the World Cup and yet tell the story engagingly," Kabir told PTI.
