Mumbai, May 17 (PTI) Shahid Kapoor-starrer “Jersey” is heading to Netflix for its digital release on May 20, the streaming platform announced Tuesday.
A Hindi remake of National Award-winning Telugu sports drama of the same name, “Jersey” was theatrically released on April 22 after multiple delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Netflix India shared the release date announcement on its official Twitter page.
“If you see us tearing up, it’s because we just watched Jersey and we can’t wait for you to catch it too. JERSEY ARRIVES ON NETFLIX ON 20TH MAY,” the tweet read.
