Shahid Kapoor’s Jersey release date postponed, film avoids clash with KGF 2

By Aman Shukla

The release date of Jersey has been postponed by a week to April 22. The sports drama was earlier set to release theatrically on April 14. The movie had seen a postponement in its release date prior also in December, when it was pushed back because of rising Omicron cases. It was originally scheduled to deliver on December 31. The movie features actors Pankaj Kapur, Shahid Kapoor, and Mrunal Thakur.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, “#Xclusiv… BREAKING NEWS… #Jersey POSTPONED by one week… Will arrive in *cinemas* on 22 April 2022… The stakeholders arrived at the decision late last night.”

Speaking at the launch event for the second trailer of the movie, Shahid had said, “Mujhe laga hi nahi tha ki mai actor ban paaunga. Kyunki zyadatar log jaante hi nahi the ki main dad ka beta hu (I didn’t think I could become an actor because most of the people were not aware that I am my dad’s son).”

He also added, “Because my parents were separated, and I didn’t use to live in Bombay, I came here very late. My mother was a single mom, and I was a little older while Ishaan (Khatter) was very young. I never told anyone as well (about being Pankaj’s son). So I didn’t know if people would accept me or not.”
