Shahid Kapoor’s Jersey Postponed

With a  major spike in Covid cases,  the  movie  business  is again facing a  major crisis. After two major successes  at  the  boxoffice Spiderman No Way Home and  Pushpa The Rise,theatres are again threatened with a closure.

With the  Delhi administration already announcing a closure of  cinema halls, the producers  of the Shahid Kapoor starrer  Jersey, which  was  supposed  to  release this coming  Friday, have decided to postpone  their  release  indefinitely.

A  source close to the development  revealed,  “They were willing to go ahead with  the release  even after  night curfew was declared in Maharashtra and Delhi although it meant a substantial drop  in the number of shows per  day. But now with the Delhi administration declaring a  closure of  movie theatres, it’s best to put the  release  off indefinitely.”

Jersey,  the remake of a Tamil  hit of the same title, is the story of a down-in-the-dumps cricketer trying to win his son’s respect.  It is a crucial project  for Shahid who has not had a release in  two years.
