Trivia

• The Hindi version of Jersey is a remake of the 2019 Telugu film of the same name, which was also directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri.
• Shahid Kapoor, who plays the lead, underwent a significant physical transformation, losing weight to portray the older, struggling version of his character.
• The film's release was delayed multiple times, partly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, before finally premiering in April 2022.
• Real-life cricketer and commentator Harsha Bhogle makes a cameo appearance as himself in the movie.
• The soundtrack features the song 'Mehram', which is a cover of a popular 1980s Pakistani qawwali by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
• Despite positive reviews for Kapoor's performance, the film underperformed at the box office, earning less than its production budget.
• Director Gowtam Tinnanuri chose to helm the Hindi remake himself to ensure the story's emotional core remained intact.
