Jersey is Hindi remake of the 2019 Telugu film of the same name, with the director (Gowtam Tinnanuri) retained from the original; as with Sandeep Reddy Vanga for Kabir Singh/Arjun Reddy. Kapoor — the North Indian star brought in, instead of Nani in Telugu — plays a character called Arjun. The first apprehension for an audience (like me) over a movie directly transplanted from mainstream Telugu is if it’ll hit the usual, vertigo-inducing, blockbuster-level high notes.
