The makers had postponed the film by a week to 22 April, which was earlier scheduled to release on 14 April.When the makers of the film got to know that a case had been filed and was being heard in Bombay High Court this week, at that time the decision for the date shift was taken. It has been reported that the team ‘Jersey’ didn’t want to leave anything for the last minute. Hence, decided to get a favorable order from the court before they planned the release of the film.

Today on Wednesday we got a favorable order, which clears the way for our release next week 22nd April.”Now, coming to the cast, Jersey stars Shahid Kapoor, Mrunal Thakur, and Pankaj Kapoor.
