Post much anticipation, Shahid Kapoor’s next project after the blockbuster Kabir Singh has been revealed. While one can’t wait to see him stepping into Nani’s shoes for the Jersey remake, reports around him charging a whopping 35-40 crores for the project have been doing the rounds since a while now. But it looks like those were just mere rumours!

Now, developments regarding the same have been flowing in, and they suggest that nothing of the kind is happening and there’s a legit reason behind it all. A source close to Deccan Chronicle reveals the same as, “If you’ve seen the original film it is an emotional father-son story about a failed cricketer and bonding with his wife and child. The budget of the original Telugu film was around 18 crores inclusive of the hero Nani’s salary. Where would they pay the hero Rs 35 crores in the remake? This hype is being created by the PR machinery.”
