“I Cried Buckets”, Shahid Kapoor On His Upcoming Film Jersey

Yesterday the trailer of the sports drama Jersey was unveiled and it is grabbing attention from all. After Kabir Singh, lead actor Shahid Kapoor will be seen playing another vulnerable character and his fans are all praises. Talking about the film releasing after nearly 2 years the actor said, “I am happy that films are back in theatres and congratulations to ‘Sooryavanshi’ for having the guts to being the first film in line to do that. It was not easy for any of us since the shop was shut for two years, and not knowing what’s going to happen is a very scary feeling. But ‘Jersey’ is the story of the triumph of the human spirit and therefore has great context, it is relevant to today’s time.”

Shahid shared his experience on first hearing the story of Jersey even before Kabir Singh released saying, “I cried buckets. I saw it (the original Telugu film featuring Nani) with Mira and my manager and they both stared at me and asked me why did the meltdown happen. I told them, something deep down had connected with me on this film. Then ‘Kabir Singh’ happened but this story stayed close to my heart. I wanted to play this character.” He finally added, “I'm so happy I did this movie. I can safely say this is my best film yet.” Jersey also stars Mrunal Thakur in the lead and will hit cinema halls on 31st December 2021.
