The film has hit the theatres yesterday and the first day's box office numbers are here.

Total: 280.19 cr. #India biz. #Hindi."

Jersey was supposed to release on April 15 along with KGF Chapter 2. To avoid direct competition with the magnum opus, the makers of Jersey postponed it by one week and released it in theatres on April 22. 

Jersey, presented by Allu Arvind, produced by Dil Raju, S. Naga Vamsi and Aman Gill, has been directed by the original director Gowtam Tinnanuri, and it also stars Shahid's father Pankaj Kapoor.
