April 14 will also witness the release of the keenly awaited sports drama Jersey

Written and directed by Gowtam Tinnannuri, Jersey is the story of Arjun Raichand, a thirty six year old cricketer who stopped his cricketing career ten years ago and is  now aiming to play for Indian team.

A remake of Gowtam Tinnannuri's 2019 Telugu film of the same title, Jersey stars Shahid Kapoor as Arjun Raichand while Mrinal Thakur features as his wife .

The film, which has been produced by Allu Aravind,  Aman Gill, Dil Raju and Suryadevara, also features Shahid Kapoor's father  Pankaj Kapur in a key role.

The actor has said that the shooting for the film was held amid the raging Covid pandemic.

'We shot the film amid the raging pandemic. I want to compliment the cast and crew of Jersey for shooting the film in such tough conditions,'he said.

Jersey was earlier scheduled to release in August last year  but it' was delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Jersey marks Shahid Kapoor's return to the big screen after a long gap.  He was last seen in the film Kabir Singh,  released in 2019.

Ahead of the release of the Jersey,  it's lead actor and Bollywood heartthrob Shahid Kapoor said that it is the heart touching story of the film that led him to give a nod to the film.

'After Kabir Singh,  the remake of a South Indian film, I had not thought that I would be doing another remake. After Kabir Singh,  I heard a lot of scripts.  However,  of all the scripts that I heard,  the story of Kabir Singh stayed with me.
saw the original film two weeks before release of Kabir Singh. I cried buckets on watching the film. Somewhere deep down it connected with me'. I felt very motivated after seeing this film. At that time I was 38 and I used to ask myself that I have done so many films but have not got the kind of success commensurate with my efforts.  

However, something inside me changed after watching Jersey . The film  gives you a message that one's efforts should not be determined by their circumstances.  One needs to continue putting in the same effort regardless of circumstances. I felt that if audience also experience the same emotions after watching the film, maybe something good will happen with their lives. Which is why I decided to do this film,'Shahid Kapoor said .

Shahid Kapoor said that he chose this film for its extremely strong story with an extremely strong script and a new fresh character.

'The reason I chose this film is that it is an extremely strong story with an extremely strong script and a new fresh character. That for me is the right thing to do,'he said.

This is the second remake done by Shahid after Kabir Singh,  which was also the remake of a Telugu film.
