See
his
post.
Earlier,
while
shooting
a
cricket
sequence
for
Jersey,
Shahid
Kapoor
had
injured
himself.
Back
then,
the
actor
had
tweeted,
"Thank
you
for
all
the
concern.
Yes,
I
have
got
a
few
stitches
but
am
recovering
fast.
#jersey
has
taken
a
little
bit
of
my
blood
but
a
script
this
good
deserves
that
in
the
least.
Have
a
good
one
you
all.
Keep
it
real.
Make
it
count.
Spread
the
love.
Humanity
above
all."
Later,
the
actor
had
penned
an
emotional
note
post
wrapping
up
the
film
that
read,
"It's
a
film
wrap
on
#jersey
....
47
days
of
shoot
during
covid.
Just
unbelievable.
I
am
so
proud
of
the
entire
team.
It's
nothing
short
of
a
miracle.
I
want
to
thank
each
and
every
one
from
the
unit
for
coming
to
set
every
day,
putting
themselves
at
risk
and
doing
what
we
all
love
doing.
Telling
stories
that
touch
hearts
and
make
a
difference.
Jersey
is
a
story
that
speaks
of
a
Phoenix
rising
from
the
ashes.
The
triumph
of
an
indomitable
spirit.
If
there
was
ever
a
time
I
could
connect
with
the
underlying
spirit
of
a
film
this
was
it.
As
we
all
fight
through
this
pandemic.
Let's
always
remember.
This
shall
pass
too.
Here's
to
my
best
filmmaking
experience
yet.
Here's
to
Jersey
...
we
shall
overcome
!!!!"
Nani's
Jersey
revolves
around
a
talented
but
failed
cricketer,
who
decides
to
return
to
cricket
in
his
late
thirties
driven
by
the
desire
to
represent
the
Indian
cricket
team
and
fulfil
his
son's
wish
for
a
jersey
as
a
gift.
The
film
which
also
starred
Shraddha
Shrinath
in
a
prominent
role,
was
well-received
by
the
critics
and
the
audience.
Coming
back
to
Shahid
Kapoor
starrer
Jersey,
the
film
is
slated
for
a
box
office
clash
with
Akshay
Kumar's
Prithviraj
on
November
5,
2021.
