After the success of Kabir Singh, Shahid Kapoor will be next seen in Jersey, where he will be seen playing a cricketer. He has recently finished shooting of the film. Speaking about the fil, he had said in a statement, “Telling stories that touch hearts and make a difference. Jersey is a story that speaks of a Phoenix rising from the ashes.
