Jersey trailer: Shahid Kapoor hits the ball straight out of the park in this thrilling remake of Nani’s Telugu film

The trailer of Shahid Kapoor’s highly anticipated Jersey is out and it hits the ball straight out of the park. Shahid plays a cricketer in the film that highlights the story of an underdog and the plight of an exceptional athlete who could not make it to the echelons of the top for varied reasons. Jersey is the official Hindi remake of Nani’s Telugu hit of the same name and stars Mrunal Thakur as the female lead. She plays Shahid’s wife in Jersey.

The trailer opens with Shahid’s attempts at fulfilling his son’s wish for his birthday. The young kid wants a cricketing jersey for his birthday but the cost of the mere Rs 500 garment is something that Shahid cannot afford. In order to fulfil his son’s wish he comes face-to-face with his own heroic past and is forced to decide whether he wants to rise to the occasion and become a symbol of hope or continue to live a life as a loser.
