Shahid Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur-starrer ‘Jersey’ will now release in theatres on April 14. The film was expected to release in December but was postponed after the third wave of COVID hit the country.
‘Jersey’ is a Hindi remake of the 2019 Telugu hit of the same name. The original film starred Nani in the lead and was helmed by Gowtam Tinnanuri. The story is about a talented but failed cricketer named Arjun, who decides to make a comeback in his late thirties and play for India in order to fulfil his son’s wish.
Actor Pankaj Kapur is also a part of the film, which is produced by Dil Raju, S Naga Vamsi and Aman Gill.
Talking about the incident, producer Aman Gill commended the actor’s grit to be back on the field after getting stitches for his lip injury. He said, ”We all know that Shahid is a perfectionist but what we saw that day was a display of true sportsman spirit by Shahid! He was back on the set after his stitches and we were all in awe of his passion for acting. He’s given it his everything to bring the raw emotions of Arjun alive on screen and you’ll be able to see it when you watch the film!”
