Mumbai/IBNS: Actor Shahid Kapoor, who captured the attention of a large section of the youth across India with his performance in the movie Kabir Singh, on Sunday thanked his fans for expressing concerns following his injury on the sets of his upcoming film Jersey.

Kapoor said he is recovering fast from his injury.

Thank you for all the concern. Yes I have got a few stitches but am recovering fast. #jersey has taken a little bit of my blood but a script this good deserves that in the least. Have a good one you all. Keep it real. Make it count. Spread the love. Humanity above all.

"Thank you for all the concern. Yes I have got a few stitches but am recovering fast. #jersey has taken a little bit of my blood but a script this good deserves that in the least. Have a good one you all. Keep it real. Make it count. Spread the love. Humanity above all," he said in his tweet addressed to fans.

Jersey is a sports-based drama.

A source told Pinkvilla, "Shahid was playing perfectly fine and rehearsing before the shot when the ball unexpectedly came and hit him on the lower lip and cut open a wide gash where blood started gushing out!! He was immediately taken for treatment and a doctor was rushed to see him. To close the wound stitches were sutured by the doctor. All this has left the actor with a heavily bruised lower lip, and hence he will not be able to shoot for the film till the swelling subsides and the wound is healed to enable him to emote freely. As a thorough professional Shahid is doing everything in his power to speed up recovery so he can resume the shoot in 4 - 5 days."

Directed by Gowtham Tinnanuri, Jersey features Shahid Kapoor, Mrunal Thakur and Pankaj Kapoor in the leading roles.
