The
outbreak
of
the
COVID-19's
new
variant
Omicron
has
started
affecting
major
sectors,
and
the
entertainment
industry
is
one
of
them.
Due
to
the
spike
in
coronavirus
cases,
theatres
in
several
metropolitan
cities
are
getting
shut
down.
Hence,
a
lot
of
big
Bollywood
movies
are
getting
postponed.
Talking
about
Jersey,
the
Shahid
Kapoor
and
Mrunal
Thakur-starrer
was
the
first
one
to
get
postponed
after
the
Omicron's
outbreak.
Let
us
tell
you,
the
Gautam
Tinnanuri
directorial
has
been
postponed
just
three
days
before
its
release.
The
film
was
supposed
to
be
released
on
December
31,
2021.
Not
only
Jersey
but
big
films
like
RRR
and
Prithviraj
have
got
postponed
due
to
the
Omicron
scare.
Coming
back
to
Jersey,
actress
Geetika
Mehandru,
who
is
playing
a
pivotal
role
in
the
Shahid
Kapoor-starrer
has
reacted
to
her
film
getting
postponed.
In
an
exclusive
interaction
with
Filmibeat,
Geetika
Mehandru
said,
"I
believe
in
Health
is
wealth
funda
but
as
a
part
of
this
I
want
a
lot
of
people
to
go
and
watch
the
movie.
The
cases
are
increasing
every
single
day.
So
of
course,
I
wanted
the
release
as
a
lot
of
things
are
dependent
upon
it
but
things
happen
for
good.
All
the
promotions
were
done.
It's
a
major
risk
but
if
the
theatres
are
shut,
how
can
makers
release
it.
It's
a
huge
loss.
Now
we
have
to
wait
for
it.
I'm
eagerly
waiting
for
the
new
release
date.
I
feel
it
will
take
more
than
6
months."
When
asked
about
her
character
in
Jersey,
Geetika
said,
"I'm
playing
Jasleen
Shergill,
a
journalist
who
writes
the
book
on
Shahid,
and
this
girl
Jasleen
is
a
pillar
of
the
story."
For
the
unversed,
the
actress
has
already
shared
screen
space
with
Shahid
in
Kabir
Singh.
