Also featuring Prateik Babbar, Varun Sharma and director Nitesh Tiwari, the BTS video captures the actors reviewing their shots, posing for group pictures and enjoying a meal together.

Set parallelly in the 1990s and 2019, Chhichhore tells the story of Aniruddh "Anni" Pathak (Sushant), a middle-aged divorced man whose son Raghav (Prateik) tries to commit suicide after failing to clear the JEE entrance examination. Though Raghav survives, he is unwilling to live as he fears being labelled a loser. Anni reveals that he faced similar challenges during his own time in college. However, he had five friends and together, they strove to overcome every obstacle.

Shraddha plays Aniruddh’s wife, Maya Sharma Pathak, in the film produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment.

According to industry data-tracking site Sacnilk, Chhichhore had earned Rs 211 crore worldwide upon its release on September 6, 2019.

Chhichhore was Sushant’s last theatrical release before his death on June 14, 2020. His final film Dil Bechara was released posthumously on the streaming platform Hotstar on July 24, 2020.
