Shahid Kapoor’s Jersey has now been postponed. The film, which was scheduled to release theatrically on April 14, will now hit the screens on April 22. Jersey, which also stars Mrunal Thakur in the lead role, has been postponed to avoid a clash with Yash's KGF: Chapter 2 which is scheduled for an April 14 release. 

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh announced the news on his Twitter account and wrote, "#Xclusiv... BREAKING NEWS... #Jersey POSTPONED by one week... Will arrive in *cinemas* on 22 April 2022... The stakeholders arrived at the decision late last night."
