EXCLUSIVE: “I cried watching Nani’s performance; he did an outstanding job” – Shahid Kapoor on his emotional reaction watching original Jersey

In a recent exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, when asked what was his first reaction when he saw Nani’s performance in Jersey, the actor replied, “I was crying and was having some kind of emotional breakdown. It was like a cathartic moment for me. It was like a therapeutic film for me.”

“Nani was outstanding in the film. He is younger so for him to have played the father was, kudos to him for pulling it off. Even though I don’t think he has like an older child or something. I don’t think he has a big kid, never seen or heard. So I don’t know if he had a kid when he did this film and he definitely didn’t have a kid at this age. So he did a very good job depicting that,” he added.

Shahid Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur talked about their film Jersey and shared the experience of working on the film. They also talked about how learning cricket at 39 was the biggest challenge for Shahid.

Jersey is a sports drama film written and directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, a remake of his 2019 Telugu film of the same title. The story is about a 36-year-old cricketer named Arjun who stopped his cricketing career ten years ago, now aiming to play for the Indian team. The film is produced by Allu Entertainment, Dil Raju Production, Sithara Entertainments, and Brat Films.
