Actor Mrunal Thakur, who wooed the audience with her performances in movies like Super 30 and Batla House, will now be seen as female lead in Shahid Kapoor’s Jersey. The film is a Hindi remake of the Telugu hit of the same name.

Excited about sharing screen space with Shahid, Mrunal said: “I’m super excited to play the lead opposite Shahid in Jersey. When I saw the original film I was bowled over by its passionate emotional journey.

“It felt like I had lived a full lifetime of experiences in those two plus hours. So deep was the affect of the film on me that I couldn’t get it out of my heart the whole night so I immediately watched it again the next day, I can’t wait for Hindi audiences to experience a similar impact!”
