About Jersey Movie

Jersey is a Hindi sports drama film, written and directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, marking his directorial debut in Bollywood. It is a remake of his 2019 Telugu film of the same title. The film stars Shahid Kapoor as a former cricketer who returns to the game to fulfill his son’s wish of buying a Jersey T-shirt. Mrunal Thakur and Pankaj Kapoor also star in pivotal roles. Produced by Geetha Arts, Dil Raju Production, Sithara Entertainments, and Brat Films, the movie tells a heartfelt story of determination and family.

Rumors of a Hindi remake of the Telugu film emerged soon after its release. Shahid Kapoor was confirmed as the lead actor, while Shraddha Kapoor was initially considered for the female lead. In August 2019, Kannada actress Rashmika Mandanna was also rumored for the role, marking her potential Bollywood debut, but it was later confirmed that Mrunal Thakur would star alongside Shahid. Pankaj Kapoor, Shahid’s father, was cast to play the role of Coach Murthy. The official announcement of the film’s cast and crew was made on 14 October 2019.

Principal photography began on 14 December 2019 in Chandigarh. During filming in January 2020, Shahid Kapoor received thirteen stitches after an injury during a scene but recovered quickly. Production was halted in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but filming resumed in October 2020, with scenes shot in Dehradun at The Doon School and Kasiga School. The final schedule was filmed at the Mohali Stadium in Punjab under strict bio-bubble and quarantine protocols. The filming wrapped up on 14 December 2020.

The release of Jersey faced multiple delays. Initially set for theatrical release on 28 August 2020, it was later pushed to 5 November 2021 due to the pandemic. Further delays occurred, and the film was rescheduled for 31 December 2021, only to be postponed indefinitely due to the Omicron variant surge. The film was finally released on 22 April 2022. However, to avoid a clash with Beast and K.G.F: Chapter 2, the release date was shifted to 14 April 2022 and later pushed by a week. Jersey premiered on Netflix on 20 May 2022.

Ganesh Aaglave of Firstpost attributed to the film’s failure to the box office clash with K.G.F: Chapter 2, a recent overdose of remakes of South Indian films, the availability of the Hindi dubbed version of the original film on YouTube for free, and average music compared to Shahid Kapoor’s previous remake film Kabir Singh (2019).
