Bombay High Court dismisses stay on Shahid Kapoor starrer Jersey; Set to release on 22nd April

It is great news for the fans of Shahid Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur as well as the makers of the show as the movie Jersey will finally release on 22nd April. The film had been facing some legal hurdles in the past few days due to a copyright claim on the story. Owing to the complex situation the makers had postponed the film by a week to 22nd April, which was earlier supposed to release on 14th April.

The decision for the date shift was taken when the makers of the film got to know that a case had been filed and was being heard in Bombay High Court this week. They didn’t want to leave anything for the last minute; hence decided to get a favourable order from the court before they planned the release of the film.

Writer Rajneesh Jaiswal has claimed that the story of the film actually belongs to him and had filed the case against the makers in Bombay High Court. But now the High court had dismissed the stay on the movie and it is due to be released next weekend. 

Film producer Aman Gill shared, “We were all geared up to release our film Jersey this holiday weekend, however, we didn’t want to go ahead and plan a release until the courts gave us a favourable order, and with hearing scheduled for Wednesday, we had no time to plan for the Thursday release hence we decided to postpone the release by a week to 22nd April till we got such an order. Today on Wednesday we got a favourable order, which clears the way for our release next week 22nd April.”

Jersey stars Shahid Kapoor, Mrunal Thakur, Pankaj Kapoor, and others. It is presented by Allu Arvind, directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, and produced by Dil Raju, S.Naga Vamsi and Aman Gill.
