'Jersey' revolves around a father named Arjun (Nani), a talented but failed cricketer, who decides to return to cricket in his late thirties because of his desire to represent the Indian cricket team and fulfill his son's wish of an Indian jersey as a gift. How he makes it big despite being limited by his age forms the essence of the story.
The Telugu version received an overwhelming response from the audience and critics alike.
The Hindi remake of 'Jersey' is slated to release on August 28, next year.
