Jersey is undoubtedly one of the best movies which released in 2019. The movie had Nani playing the lead and it tells the story of a retired Ranji (Indian first class cricket) player who returns to the field once again to fulfill his dream of playing for the Indian Cricket team and also to be a hero to his son. Nani’s performance tugged at the heart strings and it was a contributing factor to making Jersey a superhit. The script piqued the interest of Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor, who expressed an interest in remaking the movie in Hindi.
Shahid Kapoor took to Twitter to let everyone know he wrapped up the shooting schedule for Jersey after filming for forty seven days during the COVID-19 pandemic. Shahid also thanked everyone associated with the movie for coming out to the sets during these tough times. Moreover Kapoor said, “Telling stories that touch hearts and make a difference. #Jersey is a story that speaks of a Phoenix rising from the ashes. The triumph of an indomitable spirit. If there was ever a time I could connect with the underlying spirit of a film this was it (sic.)”
It’s a film wrap on #jersey…. 47 days of the shoot during covid. Just unbelievable. I am so proud of the entire team. It’s nothing short of a miracle. I want to thank each & everyone from the unit for coming to set every day, putting themselves at risk & doing what we all love. pic.twitter.com/KjXCNMOBlD
