Shahid Kapoor Opens Up On The Box Office Failure of 'Jersey'

Mumbai, June 7 - Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor's last two films have had a complete opposite box office outcomes. While his "Kabir Singh" (2019) became the biggest hit of his career, the recently released "Jersey" turned out to be one of the biggest flops of the actor.

"Jersey", which is the official remake of the Telugu movie of the same name, was anticipated to become a box office success but it couldn't even be survived two weeks at the ticket window and was wrapped up under 30 crores worldwide. Unlike its box office outcome, the movie got mixed to positive reviews from the audiences, but that couldn't help the movie to make it big at the box office.



Shahid Kapoor, who had high hopes for this movie that he reportedly reduced his fees to convince the makers to bring it to theaters, has finally opened up on the movie's box office result. While reflecting on the film's performance, Shahid made a valid point that audiences' test is changing and it is the time for the industry to learn from the mistake and make what the public wants.

"Jersey is close to my heart. Jersey has received a lot of love. But... it's been two years since Covid-19 and we need to understand how the audience feels. It's time for all of us to learn. Jersey will always be close to my heart, it has taught me that anything can happen in life", Shahid was quoted as saying by the news agency PTI.

Going forward, Shahid Kapoor has Ali Abbas Zafar's "Bloody Daddy", scheduled to release later this year. The actor also has Amar Butala's Operation Cactus and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's mythological epic Karna. He is also reportedly in talks for the Chhattrapati Shivaji Maharaj biopic with Ashwin Varde.
