Context
Why does it matter?
Capturing the marvelous journey of the Indian men's cricket team in the 1983 Cricket World Cup, 83 has seen a lot of delays. Originally set for an April 2020 release, makers were determined about giving the movie a theatrical release and hence held off its launch till cinema halls started opening up properly. Now, it's set to open in theaters on December 24.
Quotes
Nothing has been confirmed about future project though
In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Khan said, "Talks are happening." "Obviously, when you have a good time working on a film, you get a certain association and you talk about ideas. I have spent so much time with Ranveer, so we discuss all kinds of ideas. But we have not confirmed anything as of now," he noted.

If '83' succeeds, it'll surely pave way for potential collaborations
The Kabul Express director added that saying anything, for sure, about upcoming works would be difficult till the one at hand sees release. Notably, 83 marks the first collaboration between Singh [who essays the role of former India captain Kapil Dev in this film] and Khan.
