Deepika Padukone impressed all with her first look as Romi Dev, the wife of cricket legend Kapil Dev, in the upcoming biopic ‘83.
Debuting in a short layered hairdo and exuding elegance in a turtle neck top paired with a pleated skirt, Deepika looked like a spitting image of Romi. Sharing the image that also featured Ranveer Singh as Kapil Dev, the actress said that the film is an ode to every woman who put her husband's dream before her own.

"To be able to play a small but significant part in a film that captures one of the most iconic moments in sporting history has been an absolute honour,” she captioned the still.
"I've seen very closely the role a wife plays in the success of her husband's professional and personal aspirations in my mother and '83' for me in many ways is an ode to every woman who puts her husband's dream before her own," she added.
As if the look wasn’t impressive enough, a few fans went ahead and shared a couple of photos that proved the uncanny resemblances both Deepika and Ranveer share with their on-screen characters. “Just wow,” a Twitter user captioned a photo that saw the striking similarities between the film still and a throwback photo of Kapil and Romi.
