1983 World Cup Indian Team were paid this much for Sharing Insights used in the making of ’83’ Movie
Subhash K Jha, one of the producers of the movie, told the media that "The final budget of the film is Rs 270 crore (Rs 2.7 billion), which makes it a costlier film than Baahubali. Our basic production cost was Rs 210 crore (Rs 2.1 billion). That included the payment for the cricketers -- we paid each one of them between Rs 3 crore and Rs 7 crore (Rs 30 million to Rs 70 billion) for the rights to their story. Then, as the film's release had to be postponed repeatedly, we had to pay interest. Our final budget came to Rs 270 crore."
Subhash K Jha Confesses that the production cost of the movie was quite high and it would be difficult to recover the full production cost of the 83 Movie. "This is an expensive film where the costs went into financial arrangements behind the scenes, like hiring the Lord's cricket ground in London to shoot the final match, etc. Unlike Baahubali or Devdas, the budget doesn't show on screen in '83" says the producer.
