Shahid Kapoor Gets Injured While Shooting For Jersey; Says ‘I Have Got A Few Stitches But Am Recovering Fast’

After leaving fans impressed with his powerful performances in films such as Padmaavat and Kabir Singh, Shahid Kapoor is now gearing up for his next project, Jersey. He will be seen playing the role of a cricketer and has been training hard for the character. The actor was recently spotted at the airport with his wife Mira Kapoor, wearing a skull mask which covered half his face. According to reports, he suffered an injury during the shoot and received 13 stitches on his lip.

Today, Shahid took to his official social media handle to thank his well-wishers and wrote: “Thank you for all the concern. Yes I have got a few stitches but am recovering fast. #jersey has taken a little bit of my blood but a script this good deserves that in the least. Have a good one you all. Keep it real. Make it count. Spread the love. Humanity above all.”

Jersey, directed by Gowtham Tinnanuri, is an official remake of a 2019 Telugu film with the same title. Featuring Shahid along with Mrunal Thakur and Pankaj Kapoor in lead roles, the sports drama follows the life of a 36 year old cricketer who put an end to his cricketing career a decade ago, and is now aiming to play for the Indian team.
