Shahid Kapoor's 'Jersey' to be theatrically released on 31 December 2021

It was scheduled to be theatrically released on 28 August 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic delayed production. The film was wrapped up on 14 December 2020. The film will be theatrically released on 31 December 2021.

Shahid Kapoor launched the trailer of his much-awaited film, ‘Jersey’, co-starring Mrunal Thakur in the lead role.

At the trailer launch, Shahid spoke at length about the lockdown last year, shooting amid the pandemic and waiting for two years for the theatres to open. He said, “It is great to be interacting with you guys and that too in a theatre. I have actually not been in Mumbai. I have been staying with my family in Punjab through most of this and we have been shooting at different places in Punjab. I have almost forgotten what it is like to be an actor. I have been busy with my family, taking care of the kids and things like that.”

Eloborating further he added, “It is amazing to be back in the theatres again and celebrating cinema where it is supposed to be celebrated which is the big screen. I don’t think we will ever lose our love for this. It is just a different feeling.” Shahid also praised Rohit Shetty’s ‘Sooryavanshi’ starring Akshay Kumar for being the first film to release after theatres re-opened post pandemic related lockdowns.
