Jersey is as much a relationship drama as it is a sports film. Gowtam Tinnanuri’s directorial venture sees Mrunal Thakur as a headstrong woman who has to run the household and take care of her child when the cricketing dreams of her husband — essayed by Shahid Kapoor — are shattered. Thakur says she could identify with the nurturing streak of her character as she harboured similar feelings towards younger brother Mandar during their growing-up years.
“I was unofficially given the duty of [taking care of] my younger brother while we were growing up, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. It’s a natural instinct for every elder sister to mother their younger siblings. In Jersey, I play a mother who is trying to make ends meet while also taking care of her child. The role came naturally to me [because of my past experiences], right from my prep to bring depth into my performance, to the very last shot,” says the actor.
