As per the new release date, Shahid's 'Jersey' will be locking horns with Yash starrer 'KGF: Chapter 2' which is also slated to release on the same date. Earlier, the makers of Aamir Khan starrer 'Laal Singh Chaddha' had also zeroed in on April 14 to release their film. However, they have now shifted their release date to August 11, 2022. Earlier, Prabhas starrer 'Aadipurush'' was set to release on August 14, but they have now pushed its release date.'Jersey' was supposed to release in December last year. However, the release date was pushed ahead owing to the pandemic and the closure of cinema halls. The film is an official Hindi adaptation of the Telugu movie of the same name.
