Recently, while speaking to Bollywood Hungama during IIFA, Shahid Kapoor opened up about the box office failure of his film Jersey. Elaborating on what went wrong, Shahid added, “All I’ll say is that it’s a time to learn. And I think we all need to learn what’s happening. And when I say all of us, I don’t just mean me. I mean, everybody here, the entire community needs to learn from what’s happening.”
“And having done a certain amount of work, I’ve seen that the mood of the audience change many times. Having said that, Jersey had a lot of things happening with it as well. I think we had multiple release dates, and we also suffered due to lockdown and COVID. We got delayed, and a lot had happened. But it’s strange that I still get so much love for it. It’s also a very special film to me, and will always be very close to my heart. But there is a lot and we will learn,” he added.
When asked about the sequel he said, “I think Sandeep Vanga was the only one who can make to this busy shooting of him right now. So I wish him luck for that. He’s a fantastic director and he’s a great actor. I’m sure they’ll do something wonderful. They’re doing animal rights, but I think their talks of commuting to medicine to Krishna Botnick. What have you heard about it’s been pretty puzzling. But I think they can’t be competing. I think those are just rumors if something concrete happens.”
