Shahid Kapoor’s cricket drama ‘Jersey’ has finally been released and it seems like the makers have passed the test of remaking the hit Telugu film of the same name with a sixer.
On Friday, Nani, who headlined the Telugu version, took to Twitter and praised Shahid and the whole team after watching the remake.
He wrote, “Watched #Jersey and our @gowtam19 again hit it out of the park. What performances and heart. @shahidkapoor @mrunal0801 #PankajKapoor sir and my boy Ronit. This is true good cinema.Congratulations.
Words of appreciation coming from the original ‘Jersey’ star is the best compliment Shahid can get.
Helmed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, ‘Jersey’ revolves around Arjun (played by Shahid), a failed cricketer who decides to fulfil his dream of representing Team India for his son. Mrunal Thakur and Pankaj Kapur are also a part of the film.
On Thursday, the makers of the movie organized a star-studded screening, which was attended by some of the leading actors of B’town including Kiara Advani, who shares a great friendship bond with Shahid after starring together in their super hit film ‘Kabir Singh’.
After attending the screening of ‘Jersey’, Kiara took to her Instagram handle to hail Shahid for this performance as Arjun in the film.
“My dearest SK, you are just tooooo special ya, watching you as Arjun has been nothing short of magic, you hit it out of the park and how , as Jersey releases tomorrow my best wishes to the entire team, @amanthegill, the loveliest @mrunalthakur, the finest of them all, @officialpankajkapur sir and the captain of their ship @Gowtamnaidu for this beautiful film,” Kiara wrote.
