It added, "Dil Raju wanted Rashmika to debut in Hindi with the project but after discussions fell through, the other co-producers on the film took the script to Mrunal Thakur. The main reason was that all of them wanted a fresh pairing for Jersey. The actress has already okayed another sports drama - Farhan Akhtar starrer Toofan - and although she has liked the script, she is yet to sign on the dotted line."
Thakur, who was seen this year in films like Super 30 and Batla House, also has Toofan coming up with Farhan Akhtar, which is all set to release on October 2, 2020. She also has Ghost Stories on Netflix coming up, another anthropology by the same set of directors that gave us Lust Stories. Jersey, on the other hand, arrives on August 28, 2020.
