As the release date of the Film ‘Jersey’ is
confirmed, Shahid said that he considers himself fortunate that his film is
releasing in theatres, especially after cinema halls remained shut for a long
time due to the pandemic. The movie is a remake of the Telugu National Award-winning
movie. It will release in theatres on December 31. Also, it will be released
overseas on December 30.
Famous film critic, Taran Adarsh, shared the
good news; Phars Films acquired international theatrical distribution rights
and partnered with Yash Raj Films. He wrote on Twitter, “YRF - PHARS TO DISTRIBUTE

Apart from this, the second song from Shahid
Kapoor's upcoming film Jersey is out now. Titled Maiyya Mainu,
the song is a soft romantic number. It features the love story of Shahid and
Mrunal Thakur's characters from their courtship period to their court
marriage.
Speaking about the film, Shahid shared, “I am
a fan of the original film. I loved the way Nani performed. I didn’t want to do
another remake. I was looking for a story that was worthy, different and fresh.
This one stayed for me. It resonated with me. Remakes are not easy. There is a
sense of responsibility to not spoil people’s memory related to the original.
It is far more challenging. This story was worthy of being told. It inspired
and taught me something that I am going to keep with myself for life.”
Shahid Kapoor’s Jersey, which is helmed by
Gowtam Tinnanuri, revolves around Arjun (Shahid), a failed cricketer who
decides to fulfill his dream of representing Team India for his son.
