Sithara Entertainments which produced the sports drama Jersey , directed by Gautam Tinnanuri, announced the screening of their film at the festival, on Friday. The 2019 film was widely appreciated for narrating the story of a 36-year-old struggling cricketer trying to make his mark, to be a hero in the eyes of his son.
