The decision comes after the Delhi government on Tuesday ordered to shut down the cinema halls, spas, and gyms in order to curb the rise in COVID-19 cases.
Directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, Jersey is a remake of actor Nani's movie by the same name. The film that was supposed to be released on December 31, tells the story of a middle-aged cricketer, who gets back into the game for the love of his son.
