Shahid Kapoor is all set for his upcoming release, Jersey. The actor has also announced the release date of Jersey on his social media handle. Sharing a still from the movie, he wrote, “So so happy to announce that our beloved film #Jersey will be releasing worldwide in theatres on the 14th of April 2022. See you in the theatres!!
The film shall also feature the very talented Mrunal Thakur, who would play Shahid’s leading lady in the film.
When the actor was asked to share his work on the actor, Nani, on social media, Shahid said, “I think @NameisNani did an amazing job in jersey. He made me cry. So I would say he inspired me to do this film.” as quoted by The Indian Express.
Talking about the film Shahid told to Pink Villa, “Gowtam (Tinnanuri) showed me a few pictures – the director of the original, and it looks very promising. Gowtam is somebody who is a man of very few words, even if he likes something – I know it but not everyone can say it – I can see it on his face when he likes something. He doesn’t say much, but when Gowtam told me how happy he was with the output of the Hindi version, I already can imagine how brilliantly it would have come out.”
Earlier, talking to ETimes, the actor opened up on doing back-to-back remakes, saying, “Why not do a remake? Art is very fluid. People who critique art create certain boundaries for themselves. We all do, actually. We create boundaries that are limiting. I think the most interesting thing about art is that it’s limitless. Shakespeare had said that there is no story that has not been told before.” He added, further, “It’s not like I am looking out for remakes. It was an opportunity that came my way. Arjun Reddy was the first remake I did. Mira (Rajput, his wife) had seen it and said that I’d be a fool to let it (Kabir Singh) go. I was tempted and yet, unsure. But I did it. And I enjoyed myself. I have a lot of respect for the fact that it is not that easy to do remakes or adaptations.”
