Directed by Atul Sabharwal, Class Of '83 also stars actors such as Bhupendra Jadawat, Hitesh Bhojraj and Anup Soni. Class Of '83 is the story of a dedicated policeman turned police instructor Vijay Singh, whose trainees find themselves conflicted with concepts such as honour and devotion. The release date of the film hasn't been announced yet but is expected to premiere in the next few months.
Bobby Deol, whose career graph witnessed a low in the 2000s, made an impactful comeback of sorts with Salman Khan's Race 3 in 2018. Ahead of the film's release, Bobby Deol talked about struggling with alcoholism and how Salman Khan helped him come out of his low phase. Since then, Bobby Deol has also featured in films such as Yamla Pagla Deewana: Phir Se and Housefull 4.
