It's nothing but a sheer coincidence that Shahid Kapoor starred in two consecutive remakes. After Kabir Singh, he's now doing Jersey, and this is no news anymore. What's news here is that he has finally bagged an original script and it's backed by Karan Johar, who made Shaandaar with him in 2015.

Mumbai Mirror reports this is a high-octane actioner that will be mounted on a big scale. A source stated, "It has patriotic undertones and will be directed by a debutant. Shahid is a fan of the action genre and is excited about being a part of the film. He needs to bulk up for the part, so the prep will begin a few months before he starts shooting for the film, which is expected to go on floors in the second half of the year."
