The film is set during the period of mid ’90s in the city of Chandigarh where most of the film will be shot at real locations. “The entire film is set in and around Chandigarh during the mid-’90s with the film kicking off in one of the cricket stadiums in the city. The Jersey team will be moving in and out of Chandigarh a lot in the coming months. They will shoot at real locations, including a beautiful row house in the heart of the city which will be shown as Shahid’s house,” the source added.
