Chhichhore trailer: Nitesh Tiwari weaves a heartfelt story about friendship with Sushant Singh Rajput, Shraddha Kapoor

The trailer of Dangal director Nitesh Tiwari’s new film, Chhichhore, was released on 4 August (Sunday), which is celebrated as Friendship Day. The slice-of-life drama will see the film’s cast in double roles. [caption id=“attachment_7107231” align=“alignnone” width=“824”] Sushant Singh Rajput in a still from Chhichhore’s trailer.

The film seems to be set in the 80s or the 90s as the characters sport retro looks. According to the official synopsis, the film creates “a world where one meets interesting characters, shares great times and becomes friends for life.” From the looks of the trailer, the film will flit between the past and present of these characters and reunite them, possibly following a tragedy. The film also stars Prateik Babbar as the antagonist Raggie. Kapoor shared the film’s trailer on social media.

Happy Chhichhore Day to all my Twitter Chhichhore! Here is our trailer - https://t.co/dI6yW2hkt7 ❤️
