After
starring
in
Kabir
Singh,
the
Hindi
remake
of
Vijay
Deverakonda's
Arjun
Reddy,
Shahid
Kapoor
is
all
set
to
star
in
one
more
South
remake.
The
actor
will
be
seen
in
the
Bollywood
remake
of
Nani's
critically-acclaimed
Telugu
film,
Jersey.
Shahid
has
already
kickstarted
the
shooting
of
this
film
in
Chandigarh.
Meanwhile,
the
actor
has
reportedly
suffered
a
head
injury
after
which
he
had
to
undergo
13
stitches.
While
shooting
a
scene
in
Mohali,
he
was
hit
by
a
ball
on
his
mouth.
A
source
close
to
the
makers
told
PTI,
"Shahid
was
playing
perfectly
fine
and
rehearsing
before
the
shot,
when
the
ball
unexpectedly
came
and
hit
him
on
the
lower
lip
and
cut
open
a
wide
gash
where
blood
started
gushing
out.
He
was
immediately
taken
for
treatment
and
a
doctor
was
rushed
to
see
him.
To
close
the
wound,
stitches
were
sutured
by
the
doctor."
According
to
a
report
in
Pinkvilla,
Shahid's
wife
Mira
Rajput
rushed
to
Chandigarh
after
hearing
after
his
injury.
"He
is
fine
now.
But
the
injury
was
a
deep
cut
so
he
had
to
get
13
stitches.
Mira
(Rajput)
has
rushed
to
Chandigarh
now
on
hearing
the
news.
There's
nothing
to
worry
anymore," the
source
told
the
online
portal.
Shahid
will
take
a
break
for
the
next
few
days
as
he
has
a
heavily
bruised
lower
lip.
He
will
continue
filming
after
the
swelling
subsides
and
the
wound
is
healed,
a
source
told
PTI.
Earlier
while
speaking
with
reporters
at
an
event,
Shahid
said,
"I
wanted
to
do
an
original
film
(after
Kabir
Singh)
so
that
people
don't
think
I'm
doing
only
remakes.
But
when
I
saw
the
film,
it
touched
my
heart.
I
cried
four
times
while
watching
it.
The
character
isn't
like
Kabir
Singh.
He's
a
quiet,
introvert
man
but
his
intensity
and
journey
was
inspiring
for
me."
Directed
by
Gowtam
Tinnanauri
who
helmed
the
original
Telugu
film
too,
Jersey
is
slated
to
release
on
August
28,
2020.
