Choona trailer promises a grand heist comedy

The trailer of Choona opened with the introduction of Jimmy Sheirgill, who is a politician with great knowledge of astrology. At the beginning of the clip, he claimed that he had control over all his planets and can overthrow the government to become the next chief minister. Following that, Aashim Gulati entered the frame and told the politician (Jimmy) that he can self-immolate for him.

On the other hand, a group of miscreants, including Aashim, hatch a plan to steal Rs. 300 crore from Jimmy as an act of revenge against him.

The clip further shows several snippets from the twisted robbery and get interesting as the amount increased from Rs. 300 crore to Rs. 800 crore.
