From Ghajini to Simmba, remakes of South films have always fared well at the Box Office. Shahid Kapoor-starrer Kabir Singh, a remake of Arjun Reddy, also raked in moolah and became the highest grossing movie of 2019 (till now).
And looks like, Shahid has signed yet another South remake. The 38-year-old actor will be seen in the Hindi remake of 2019 Telugu film Jersey.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter to make the announcement. He wrote, "IT'S OFFICIAL... Shahid Kapoor to star in #Hindi remake of #Telugu film #Jersey...
