It is the Bollywood remake of a smash hit Telugu film and marks the return of popular star Shahid Kapoor after his 2019 blockbuster success Kabir Singh. Instead of being the centre of attention, it is running scared of two regional Indian language juggernauts and was postponed by a week, just days before its release. The first film Jersey producers seem afraid of clashing with is Kannada language action entertainer KGF: Chapter 2, which is the hotly anticipated sequel to a 2018 blockbuster hit that clocked up huge box office figures and will release on April 14 as planned.
Part two will get an even bigger release with dubbed versions in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam dropping in cinemas simultaneously. The trailer has received a rip-roaring response and it is expected to clock up a bigger opening weekend than any Bollywood film that has been released in the past few years.
