Amid a clash with two south Indian mega movies Beast and KGF: Chapter 2, Shahid Kapoor believes it is a good time for his film Jersey to release.
Jersey clashes with Beast and KGF 2
Shahid Kapoor’s Jersey is all set to hit the screens on April 14. The movie will clash with two mega South Indian movies Joseph Vijay starrer Beast and Yash’s KGF: Chapter 2.
As the filmmakers of Jersey released its second trailer, Shahid in an interview, opened up about the box-office clash of Jersey with two South Indian movies.
When the actor was asked about the clash and if this worries him, he told, “The fact that we’re releasing means that we feel it’s a good time to release. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have. The fact that they are releasing, feels like a good time for them. So, I guess, if you put the two things together there is enough space for different movies.”
‘Enough space in theatres’
The 41-year-old also revealed that he is a huge fan of Vijay and his movies. “He’s a great dancer and I have a soft spot for good dancing. I’m sure Beast is going to be a fantastic film but that is slightly for a different market. I don’t think there’s that much overlapping happening there,” added the actor.
While talking about Yash starrer KGF: Chapter 2, the Kabir Singh actor said, “KGF 2 is a sequel to a film that people have loved. So wishing Rocky Bhai all the best. It’s a different genre, a big action, edgy kind of film, and ours is an emotional sports film with family and a message.”
He further added, “So, I think we all have our own space and it’s a great day. There are four holidays and there’s enough space in theatres for all the films and all of them should do well. It’s a great thing that big films are coming together. We should look at it positively.”
Meanwhile, Jersey is a Hindi remake of the Telugu film of the same title that starred Nani and Shraddha Srinath. The film brings the story of a talented but failed cricketer, who decides to return to the field in his late 30s driven by the desire to represent the Indian cricket team and fulfill his son’s wish for a jersey as a gift. Jersey is directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, who also helmed the original film.
