Actor Shahid Kapoor, who next will be seen on screen in the Bollywood remake of the Telugu hit Jersey, says he cried four times after watching the original film because he could relate to the central character of the story, who is close to his age.

"I never wanted to be part of a remake again (after 'Kabir Singh'). I wanted to do an original film because people might think I am only doing remakes, but when I saw the film (Jersey), it touched my heart. Although it is based on cricket, it tells the story of a 36-year-old guy who has a six-year-old son. He used to play cricket but he quit the game. For certain reasons, at the age of 36, he decides to play cricket again because that's the only thing he knows," Shahid said while interacting with the media at Star Screen Awards on Monday in Mumbai.
