Mumbai: Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor, who will be seen as a cricketer in ‘Jersey’, recently played cricket during his free time. The ‘Padmaavat’ star recalled his memories of being on the sets of ‘Jersey’ as he shared a video from the match on social media. 

Shahid can be seen hitting a shot in the video like a professional. The ‘Kabir Singh’ actor underwent intense training to prepare for his role in the upcoming sports drama. He posted the clip on his official Instagram handle along with the caption, “Played some cricket after almost a year of being on #jersey sets.” Kapoor added the hashtag #MajorMissing while sharing the video. 

‘Jersey’ is the Hindi remake of a Telugu film of the same name. Gowtam Tinnanuri, who helmed the original, is directing the new movie starring Shahid in a lead role. The cast and crew commenced shooting for the much-awaited flick in December 2019.
