Popular Youtuber Sahil Khatter is going to make his Bollywood debut with Kabir Khan's upcoming sports drama '83'. He'll be essaying the role of Syed Kirmani, the wicketkeeper of World Cup winning Indian team. In a recent conversation with a news outlet, Sahil talked about how he bonded with lead actor Ranveer Singh while working on the film. Apparently, Ranveer and Sahil found out that they have a lot in common and became quite friendly with each other.

According to a report in Koimoi, Sahil said, “We are both crazy, our energies are also very similar. It’s almost like when a volcano meets a tornado. Ranveer used to see my humour as unprecedented. He has seen a lot of my videos, the first time we met, I was like ‘Hi, I am Sahil’ and he was ‘pata hai mujhe’ (I know). We also made lots of parodies together, it was with unfiltered songs, and he used to call me Messi and I called him Ronaldo.

Sahil further added, “When I used to make digital videos earlier for ‘Being Indian’, I used to get comments like I’m the malnourished Ranveer Singh, so I already had a connection with him. I used to dance on his songs, so the journey from being a fan to a friend has been good and gradual."

'83' is the cinematic adaptation of India's winning crusade in the 1983 Cricket World Cup and it's going to hit the screens on 24th of December.
