The theatrical release of Shahid Kapoor's 'Jersey' postponed due to new COVID-19 standards

After civic limitations were reimposed due to fears about the Omicron variation, the makers of the Shahid Kapoor sports drama 'Jersey' chose to postpone the theatrical distribution of the film.

The makers issued a statement saying, "In view of the current circumstances and new COVID guidelines we have decided to postpone the theatrical release of our film 'Jersey'. We have received immense love from you all so far and want to thank you all for everything. Until then everyone please stay safe and healthy, and wishing you all the best for the new year ahead (sic)!!"

The film, which was due to be released on December 31, is about a middle-aged cricketer who returns to the game for his son's sake.

The film, directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, also stars Mrunal Thakur and is a remake of the same-titled Telugu film from 2019.
