Nani is well-known for his excellent choice of scripts and his natural acting talent. This has been proven multiple times through his iconic films, one of which is ‘Jersey,’ a sports drama, released in 2019, directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri. This film, starring Nani, Shraddha Srinath, is not only a gem in Telugu cinema but has also received praise from all across the country. It tells the story of a failed cricketer who strives to be a good father to his son by pursuing his dream of playing cricket at the age of 36. In this article, we’ll revisit the brilliance of ‘Jersey’ and why it continues to connect with audiences.
However, recently, this movie has been a topic of discussion on social media due to a journalist’s question about its financial success. When a journalist asked Nani why ‘Jersey’ didn’t perform well at the box office, despite positive reviews and blockbuster status, Nani responded by asking how the journalist knew about the financial loss. , Now, again the film’s producer also clarified on Twitter that their movie was, in fact, profitable. Naga Vamsi, the producer, explained that only the producer truly knows the commercial success of a film. Box office numbers reported by the media are mere speculations and may not reflect the actual figures. He mentioned that there is no reliable method to verify box office numbers in the industry. Vamsi also highlighted that whether they make a profit or incur a loss, it’s not shared with anyone else.
At the same time, he advised media professionals not to discuss film business when a hero is present for a Q&A session, questioning why such discussions are necessary when a hero is sitting right in front of them.
