Shahid Kapoor reclaimed his superstar status with the Blockbuster romantic drama Kabir Singh and turned one of the most bankable actors for the filmmakers. While Kabir Singh was an official Hindi remake of the Telugu language romantic drama, Arjun Reddy, after its success, Shahid Kapoor was signed for Hindi remake of another Telugu drama, Jersey.
Helmed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, Jersey starred Nani in the key character and told the tale of a middle-aged cricketer driven by his desire to represent the Indian cricket team. While the Hindi remake is titled after the original sports drama and helmed by the same director, it stars Shahid Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur in the prominent characters. The remake got on the floors in the month of January, but the shooting was halted amid the Coronavirus scare and nationwide lockdown.
Taking to his social media handle, Shahid Kapoor shared a sneak peek picture of his new look for the upcoming movie and wrote, “#Jersey sets. #imissyou.” In the picture, Shahid Kapoor can be seen padded up with the cricket gear and sporting long hair with gull grown beard. With a cricket bat in his hand, the intensity in the eyes of the actor promises another phenomenal performance.
The remake also brings back the much-loved father-son duo on the big screen as Shahid Kapoor’s father Pankaj Kapur will play his coach in the movie. While the movie started filming in Chandigarh, actor Shahid Kapoor also sustained injuries during his training for a professional cricketer and had thirteen stitches on his lips but later recovered.
