Jersey Star Shahid Kapoor Leaves Former Hockey Player Sardar Singh Smitten With Gym Workout

Prepping hard for his upcoming Gowtam Tinnanuri-directorial Jersey, actor Shahid Kapoor is seen grueling at the gym when not shooting on the pitch in Chandigarh. Recently, the star met former ace Indian hockey player Sardar Singh and fans were left elated.

Taking to his Instagram handle, Sardar shared a picture from the gym where the two happened to have worked out together. Featuring Shahid in black sportswear with a pair of white shoes and Sardar in a white body-hugging tee teamed with a pair of blue shorts, the picture had the two stars posing a thumbs up for the camera. Sardar captioned the picture, “Good to meet @shahidkapoor and appreciate his workout in the gym best wishes for upcoming movie (sic).”

Jersey is the Hindi-remake of a Telugu film of the same name helmed by Gowtam Tinnanuri. The Telugu version received an overwhelming response from the audience and critics alike. After Vikas Bahl’s ‘Shaandaar’, the sports drama would see father and veteran actor Pankaj Kapur and son Shahid Kapoor sharing the screen space together.

In Jersey, Shahid will be seen as a man in his late thirties trying to get back to his game of cricket and play at the national level for the country despite all the odds relate to his age. Pankaj essays the role of his on-screen mentor.

The first schedule of Jersey went on floors in the month of December 2019, before breaking for New Year for a few days post which, the team once again moved to Chandigarh to finish the rest of the shooting schedule. As reported by Mumbai Mirror earlier, the team of Jersey is all set to prepare their film for an April 2020 release and the entire shoot-plan will be followed properly. The report quoted a source close to the development revealing that the shoot will begin at a popular stadium in Chandigarh.
