Shahid Kapoor Wraps ‘Jersey’ Filming, Talks About Shooting While Covid

Actor Shahid Kapoor has finally finished the filming of his upcoming film ‘Jersey’.

The actor took to Instagram to share a picture.  

He wrote: “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 !!!! @gowtamnaidu @mrunalofficial2016 @geethaarts @amanthegill @srivenkateshwaracreations” The picture showed Shahid, standing with his back to the camera, inside a flood-lit stadium.

The shoot of Jersey had been stopped in mid-March this year, due to the coronavirus pandemic. The team had been shooting in Chandigarh and Mohali but they had to change the location again due to the ongoing farmers protest.

After resuming work months later, the team shot extensively in Uttarakhand and later in Chandigarh to wrap the film.

Jersey is the official Hindi remake of the Telugu hit of the same name. Both films have been directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri. The remake also stars Mrunal Thakur and Pankaj Kapur in prominent roles.
