Shahid
Kapoor's
latest
release
Kabir
Singh
may
have
stirred
a
controversy
regarding
its
misogynist
undertones
but
no
one
can
deny
that
the
actor
gave
an
incredible
performance
as
the
alcoholic,
possessive
boyfriend.
Kabir
Singh
was
a
Bollywood
remake
of
the
hit
Telugu
film
Arjun
Reddy.
Shahid
has
signed
another
film
which
is
going
to
be
a
remake.
He
is
working
on
the
remake
of
the
2019
film
Jersey,
starring
Nani,
and
directed
by
Gowtam
Tinnanuri.
In
a
recent
interview,
Gowtam,
who
will
be
directing
the
remake
too,
was
all
praise
for
Shahid
as
he
said
how
dedicated
an
actor
he
is.
He
also
shared
how
Shahid
came
on
board
for
the
film.
Talking
to
Indian
Express,
Gowtam
said,
"Ten
days
after
Jersey
got
released,
I
met
Shahid
Kapoor.
Kabir
Singh
had
not
released
yet.
He
watched
Jersey.
He
liked
it
very
much
and
expressed
his
interest
to
work
in
the
remake."
He
continued,
"At
that
time,
I
had
no
idea,
whether
this
project
will
happen
or
who
will
produce
it.
I
was
not
even
sure
whether
I
will
get
to
direct
the
Hindi
remake.
Later,
I
sent
him
a
message
appreciating
his
performance
in
Kabir
Singh.
He
called
me
back
and
told
me
that
Jersey
Hindi
remake
was
happening.
I
enjoyed
working
with
Shahid
Kapoor.
He
is
a
very
dedicated
actor."
Jersey
is
a
sports
drama
film,
and
it
will
also
star
Mrunal
Thakur,
Pankaj
Tripathi
and
others.
Gowtam
said
that
he
has
not
made
any
changes
to
the
script
story-wise,
but
the
actors'
performances
in
the
remake
makes
all
the
difference.
"I
am
really
enjoying
this
process," he
added.
