The original film, starring south actor Nani in the lead role, revolved around a failed cricketer who makes a stunning comeback at the age of 36. “Shahid plays a cricketer in Jersey and the perfectionist that he is, he has already started learning the ropes of playing a cricketer on-screen by regularly going for the cricketing lessons. The film's shoot starts in Chandigarh by November end," a source earlier told Bollywood Hungama.

Directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, who also helmed the Telugu version, the film is scheduled to release on August 28, 2020.
