Five Challenges For Nani’s Jersey

Nani’s confidence on Jersey is pretty much visible. Well, no doubt, the trailer of Jersey and the making of Jersey have raised the expectations phenomenally. But there are handful of challenges for Jersey that is hitting the screens tomorrow.

Sports backdrop film

Sports backdrop film’s are not a huge hit with Telugu audiences. Having sports theme in the film and having a particular game in climax or pre-climax is alright. But a pure sports backdrop film hasn’t tried so far. Probably, this is why director Gautam has banked on the emotion quotient. The father-son sentiment is another important aspect of Jersey.

Melodrama

Going by the trailer, the film seems to have a fall of a star cricketer Arjun. He hits low and grim. How does one deal with failure and showcasing of failure for longtime on screen may not appeal to audiences. It’s a challenge for director to make audiences sit through the melodrama between husband and wife.

Jersey

The title Jersey isn’t a catchy word for masses. It’s still a challenge to erode into masses. The film seems to be multiplex film and A-centre audiences’ film. How it’s going to pull masses is a challenge.

Shraddha Srinath

No doubt, Shraddha is a popular name in Kannada and Tamil industries. Thanks to U-Turn in Kannada, she has good fame. But for Telugu audiences, Shraddha is new. Having a known heroine would come in handy for the makers. But the makers decided to cast Shraddha. Particularly, the scenes in second half of Jersey where Shraddha is seen in a de-glam role as a mother is definitely a challenge for makers. How Telugu audiences gonna receive a girl who is seen romancing in first half and a mother in second-half needs to be seen.

Kanchana 3

Last but not least, Raghava Lawrence’s Kanchana 3 is a popular franchise. Horror films have their own set of audiences and Kanchana has its own base. Since Kanchana is a hit with masses, one has to wait and see how Kanchana 3 could affect Jersey’s prospects in B & C centers.
