‘Kabir Singh’ Star Shahid In Hindi Remake of Jersey

Shahid Kapoor has proved his mettle at the box office as Kabir Singh, a remake of Telugu blockbuster Arjun Reddy. Now the actor is all set to take our Jersey to larger audience.

Jersey starring Nani won accolades as one of the best Telugu film of recent times. It was also a box office hit in Telugu. Shahid has seen potential in Jersey to do well in Hindi markets too.

Karan Johar is willing to remake Jersey in Hindi, but he wants to bag the remake rights from Sitara Entertainments for outright amount.

But the original producers want a share in the Hindi version as they are looking to enter Bollywood market with Jersey.

The deal will be finalized shortly and director Gautham Tinnanuri who made the original will be directing it in Hindi as well.

Demand for Telugu films has gone up in B town after the phenomenal success of Kabir Singh.

We can expect many other recent hits and cult films to be remade in Hindi soon.

Bollywood actors are looking to retain original directors for the remakes so that they would keep the soul of the story intact without diluting it for commercial reasons.
