The film was a huge success and Gowtam Tinnanuri gained recognition for his work. Talking about the huge success of his first film, he said,
I had no idea what to expect as I had no previous experience. I felt like I had a good story, I told it, and the producers liked it and decided to make it. It all happened very quickly. Even days before the movie came out, my mind went blank. I don’t know what to expect. If you say something to a gathering of 20 people, five people might not like it. Imagine being in front of thousands of people and expecting them to unanimously like something. This is a difficult task. The market was slow the first day so I figured I had to learn more to reach a larger audience. But by the end of the first day, things were looking up. Then I became convinced that I could communicate with a certain audience. “

I want to tell a loser story. You must have heard of the concept of child prodigy. These people are born with extraordinary abilities and achieve success at a very early age. There is also a concept called late blooming. These people pursued their dreams later in life and became successful. I want to focus on the latter of these concepts. “Jersey” tells the story of a man who is rejected by the world but still has a dream. Cricket is just the platform for this story. I chose sports because in other fields like business, skills are important and age is not a barrier. In sports, age is definitely a barrier as it is highly dependent on physical fitness, agility, etc. In Jersey, people around Arjun had seen him play in his youth and knew he loved cricket, but that was not the case later on.
