Shahid Kapoor on Ranveer Singh’s 83: ‘I’d love to see the movie’s press conference in Mumbai, Shahid Kapoor was asked if he is worried about Jersey releasing a week after Ranveer Singh‘s 83. He said, “I think if the movie is promising, it finds its place. In the last two years, because of the pandemic, theatres were shut for so long, and many movies are in the process of getting released. Many people did not release their movies worrying that many movies are coming out together. But I believe that if you believe in your product and if you are passionate and if you have faith in yourself, then you’ll know that the audience has one week to decide how they like my movie. It doesn’t matter what movie comes before us or after us, every movie has its destiny. We hope 83 all the best, and I wish it does well but one week later we are releasing Jersey and we wish it does amazingly well too.”
