Shahid reveals he got 25 stitches while shooting for ‘Jersey’

Post the release of the film, Jersey, it has indeed been buzzing everywhere as Shahid Kapoor leads the film after the mammoth success, Kabir Singh back in 2019.

Recently, Kapoor recently interacted with fans during a live session on Instagram. During his interaction, the actor opened up about his upcoming sports drama Jersey.

When a fan questioned about his gruesome training session to ace the role of a cricketer with a real seasoned ball, Shahid revealed that he was injured during his practice session. He shared, “I busted my lip on this film. My strongest memory of Jersey will be that I felt that I will never look the same again.”

Recalling the incident behind the camera, he added, “It (the ball) busted my lower lip and we actually had to stop shooting for two months because of that. I had to get some 25 stitches. It actually took three months for my lip to feel normal, it still doesn't feel normal. There's a part on my lip (and offered fans a close look at it) which I feel like its dead. I can't move it. So I've given my blood to this film.”-

Helmed by director Gowtam Tinnanuri, Jersey is presented by Allu Arvind. Backed by Aman Gill, Dil Raju, S. Naga Vamsi, and also stars Mrunal Thakur and Pankaj Kapur in pivotal roles, apart from Shahid Kapoor in the lead.

Jersey is slated to release on December 31, 2021.
