Talking about the film, the Bombay High Court has denied a stay on Jersey after writer Rajneesh Jaiswal filed a copyright infringement complaint against the makers. In a statement producer Aman Gill said, “We were all geared up to release our film Jersey this holiday weekend, however we didn’t want to go ahead and plan a release until the courts gave us a favourable order, and with hearing scheduled for Wednesday, we had no time to plan for the Thursday release hence we decided to postpone the release by a week to 22nd April till we got such an order. Today on Wednesday we got a favourable order, which clears the way for our release next week 22nd April.”
The movie, which is a remake of the Telugu film 'Jersey', also stars Shahid’s father and veteran actor Pankaj Kapoor in a pivotal role.
