With just 10 days to go, Bollywood's ace actor Shahid Kapoor is currently gearing up for the release of his latest movie Jersey. Although the movie was originally scheduled to release in December of last year itself, but the onset of the third wave of novel coronavirus led to the indefinite postponement of the film's release.
