Jersey also stars Mrunal Thakur in the lead role. The movie also features Shahid Kapoor's father, veteran actor Pankaj Kapur in a crucial role. The film, a remake of the Telugu movie of the same name, is directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri. The Telugu version starred Nani in the lead role. It received two National Film Awards - Best Feature Film (Telugu) and Best Editing.
In Jersey, Shahid Kapoor portrays the character of a cricketer who wants to make a return to the game for the sake of his son. Pankaj Kapur plays the role of Shahid's mentor in the film. On working with his father, Shahid told ETimes, “My father is a very clear actor and has a lot of thoughts. Being his son, it's ditto for me. It was great to have all that. We both were very respectful of each other's opinions. I think it's actors who are not self-assured of themselves, who get stuck into doing it only one way; they overthink things."
