Jimmy Shergill-led Choona is set to stream on Netflix from August 3. The film is a heist comedy-drama where six underdogs try to exact revenge on a powerful politician named Shukla. Netflix shared the news on social media with a short video.
Talking about the film, Shergill said, “This is my first outing with Netflix and I am looking forward to Choona. As an actor, I have always been inclined toward stories that push me to explore my capabilities. Also, as an audience myself, I personally like narratives that are engaging and character-driven, and bring out the flavour of our rich cultural backdrop. Choona gave me an opportunity to play a character that’s spiteful yet appealing, which to me is unique. The story itself is high-spirited, captive, and engaging.”
Directed by Pushpendra Nath Misra, Choona also features Aashim Gulati, Vikram Kochhar, Chandan Roy, Namit Das, Gyanendra Tripathi, Atul Srivastava, Monika Panwar, and Niharika Lyra Dutt in key roles.
