Nani son Arjun enjoys Jersey. Five years have passed since Gowtam Tinnanuri’s sports drama "Jersey," starring Nani and Shraddha Srinath, graced the silver screen. To commemorate this special occasion, the filmmakers re-released the film on April 20. Nani, accompanied by his wife Anjana Yelavarthy and son Arjun aka Junnu, attended a screening at Sudarshan 35 MM theatre in Hyderabad to watch the film with fans. Photos and videos captured by fans show the actor and his family enjoying the moment, with Junnu looking particularly delighted, unable to contain his excitement even as he is surrounded by fans.
After the screening, Nani took to social media to express his feelings, stating, “Today it felt like Arjun (his character in the film) came back from the skies to relive the journey and say farewell again. Heart is heavy and full.” Anjana also shared a video on Instagram of Junnu playing the piano, performing the theme song from "Jersey," which he had recently learned. She expressed her pride in both her 'Arjuns' and thanked music composer Anirudh Ravichander for inspiring Junnu's love for music.
Reflecting on her experience of watching "Jersey" for the first time, Anjana shared, “Last night, we binged watched some of the scenes, and I couldn’t believe how much it still moves me despite watching it multiple times. I can still vividly remember the experience of watching it in the theater – cheering, rooting for Arjun, Sarah, and Nani like there’s no tomorrow! Bawled too, of course! Talk about waving the greenest of green flags!”
Nani, whose last film was "Shouryuv’s Hi Nanna" with Mrunal Thakur, is set to appear in Vivek Athreya’s "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram." He will also collaborate with "Dasara" director Srikanth Odela for the second time and director Sujeeth in future projects.
