Ranveer Singh, however, could not succeed in the field. He revealed in an interview that he once got rejected by the 1983 World Cup Winning Cricketer Mohinder Amarnath. The actor also confessed that it was a good thing that the ex-cricketer rejected him or else he would not have been an actor today. But who would have guessed that his life would come in full circle where he would get to play the 1983 World Cup Winning Captain, Kapil Dev.
