The new poster of Jersey is out. We can see Shahid Kapoor riding a bike with his long flowing hair and sunglasses. We can also see the heroine of the film MrunalThakur sitting behind him. But hold on, weren’t we talking about Jersey? Then why does this visual description sound so similar to the iconic bike seen in Kabir Singh?
Not only that, even the bike they are using is so similar.
But is it the only similarity between the two? Let’s find out.
Jersey, just like Kabir Singh, is a remake of a Telugu film.
Gautam Tinnaunuri has directed both the Telugu and Hindi version of Jersey. Just like Sandeep Reddy Vanga directed the original Arjun Reddy in Telugu and Kabir Singh in Hindi.
Even the grooves of Maiyya Mainu from Jersey are extremely similar to Bekhayali from Kabir Singh.
In both the films, Shahid Kapoor is playing a badass character who might be very good at heart. The way he is seen screaming in the trailer of Jersey is similar to what we see in Kabir Singh.
Who knows we might encounter many such more similarities when Jersey releases.
The bigger question that lies here is, can we let pass Kabir Singh?
There is no doubt about the fact that Shahid Kapoor is an extremely talented actor. Many times in the past he has given some immensely powerful performances. Unfortunately, the audience failed to praise him. He finally received the love he deserves in 2019 with Kabir Singh. But that does not mean he or the makers should repeat the same formula.
Kabir Singh according to cinematic and only cinematic perspectives was a great film. It had an insanely powerful performance that must be appreciated.
But every film should be unique in itself. Because this way we would be losing to see the talent mine Shahid Kapoor is. It is not a praiseworthy step and we must complain about it.
