The Film's Plot:

Jersey revolves around the story of a National Level cricket player who saw nothing but passion for the game. However, circumstances turned unfavourable for him after his marriage and child. After gaining motivation, he ignites the fierce spirit to thrive again in the game. He gets back on his feet at the age of 36 and puts in his best efforts to revive his stellar passion. He recalls his old days of rising as a Ranji Trophy player and his struggles to finally make it to the National team. He then promises his son that he will earn the jersey back for his country and gift him his achievements.

Jersey

When Shahid was asked if he based his character in Jersey on any cricketer during the film's promotion, he said, "I have seen a lot of cricket as I am a huge cricket buff. You cannot be as good as a professional cricketer playing at an international level, you can't get there."

Apart from sports, Jersey is also a heartwarming tale of a father-son bond. Shahid said that now that he himself is a father of two kids ¨C 6-year-old daughter Misha and 4-year-old son Zain, he has learned more and understands his character better.
