It's raining remakes on Bollywood. Let's not get into the debate of whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. Obviously, as we can see, the trend is clearly working for the filmmakers like magic and a wide chunk of audience is cool with it too. Take for instance, Shahid Kapoor's Kabir Singh, a remake of Telugu film named Arjun Reddy! The star got his solo hundred hit through this film and naturally it inspired him to keep walking on the same path. As a result, he will be next seen in another rehash. He is in the lead for Hindi remake of Telugu film Jersey that originally starred actor Nani. Shahid will play the role of a cricketer and the prep has begun. The pictures of him practicing for the role surfaced. Jersey: All You Need to Know About the Telugu Sports Drama and Where You Can Watch it Before the Release of Shahid Kapoor's Hindi Remake.

It is a no-brainer that Sasha gives his all when it comes to character roles. Yet again it is a remake for him and with remakes come inevitable comparisons. He passed this test during Kabir Singh vs Vijay Deverakonda's Arjun Reddy. But he is surely not the one who is going to sit back in the bliss and hence has already started having practice sessions. Here are some impressive pictures of him in the professional attire,with a bat in his hand and taking lessons.

This is for the first time that we will see the handsome hunk in this sports person avatar. The sports based drama will be helmed by the original director himself a.k.a Gowtam Tinnanur. Interestingly, recently, Ranveer Singh's still from the film 83-The Film also went viral. The fans are totally in love with him as the former cricket captain Kapil Dev. We don't know about Shahid and Nani but the comparison between these two Padmaavat co-stars' cricketer performances is more likely to happen! What do you think?
