Telugu film star Nani praises Shahid Kapoor's 'Jersey': This is true good cinema

Mumbai, Apr 22 (PTI) Telugu film star Nani on Friday said filmmaker Gowtam Tinnanauri and the cast of the Shahid Kapoor-led Hindi remake of his film "Jersey" have beautifully captured the heart of the story.

"Jersey", the remake of the 2019 Telugu movie of the same name, is directed by Tinnanauri, who was also the brain behind the original.
