About the film
Titled “Jersey”, this new film is being directed by Malli Rava fame Gautham Tinnanuri. Going by the first look, we have to say that the film revolves around the aspirations of protagonist Arjun, who wants to wear Team India’s jersey at any cost. It seems like Nani has picked up a realistic drama this time with loads of emotions that could connect to the youths.
In an interview with first post director, Gowtam Tinnanuri opened up about the project and why he thought Nani was apt for the titular role. “It’s a story about a late bloomer who realises his talent at a certain age and pursues his dream to join Indian cricket team. It’s a period sports drama, and the story takes place between 1986 and 1996.”
The story of the film is described as “Success story of failure”.
Directed added,
“It’s entirely a fictional story. We are planning to start shooting from September. Nani will undertake cricket lessons in preparation for the role.”
He explained why he choose Nani,
“As a subject, I want this story to reach as many people as possible. With his universal appeal, Nani can take this story far and wide. I also really like him as an actor.”
Recently Nani is set to make his T.v debut as host of Big Boss season 2. Talking about Big Boss, he said, “I see this as one more way to connect with my audience. Through my films, I can connect with them once or twice a year. But through this show, I can stay in touch with them for good three months every week. I’m more curious about how I will be received in this medium which I’m yet to explore fully.”
