JioCinema is all set to bring a quirky tale of heist, love and loyalty with its latest comedy-thriller series, Moonwalk. Starring Samir Kochhar, Anshumaan Pushkar, Nidhi Singh, Sheeba Chadha, and Geetanjali Kulkarni in key roles, the show is all set to premiere on 20th December on JioCinema Premium. The recently released trailer sets the stage for an unexpected battle between two rival thieves—not over a heist, but for love! With a perfect mix of humor and suspense, Moonwalk promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
Moonwalk pits Tarik Pandey (essayed by Anshumaan Pushkar), Rampur’s best thief, against Maddy (played by Samir Kochhar), Delhi’s top crook, in a battle for both a priceless treasure and the heart of the girl of their dreams, Chandani (played by Nidhi Singh). After a slip-up lands Tarik in jail, Chandani declares a challenge: whoever steals the better item—Tarik’s golden commode or Maddy’s precious necklace—will win her love. Meanwhile, an aging gangster, his son who wants to be a teacher, an uptight cop, Chandani’s jealous ex, and a legendary cellmate, add to the chaos, leading to an unexpected showdown as all players compete for the ultimate prize—a moonrock! Moonwalk is directed by Ajay Bhuyan and produced by Jyoti Deshpande (Jio Studios) and Ajay G Rai (Jar Pictures).
Sharing his excitement for the show, Samir Kochhar shares, “Maddy is a legend in the world of heists, who executes impossible jobs with unmatched skill and charisma. He is always a step ahead, and beneath his suave exterior lies a darker edge – he thrives on the thrill of deception and bending the rules to his advantage. This character brings surprises as the story unfolds, and that’s what makes it interesting. I’m also excited to do something different this time from my previous roles. Moonwalk is exciting, unpredictable, and has everything the audience will look forward to – complete drama and entertainment.
Anshumaan Pushkar, who plays Tarik reflected on his experience, saying, “Moonwalk has been an exhilarating journey for me, both as an actor and as a part of such a fun and exciting project. There’s something special about working on a project that’s as entertaining as it is interesting, and the energy on set was always filled with laughter and positivity. It truly made the entire experience one of the most enjoyable shoots I’ve had to date, and I’m confident that this joy will translate onto the screen for the audience to feel. What made it even more enriching was the opportunity to collaborate with incredible talents like Sheeba Ji and Samir, who bring so much depth to their craft. This was also one of my first projects, making it all the more special and memorable for me.”
Nidhi Singh, who essays the role of Chandani, shared, “My character, Chandni, is a blend of mischief and innocence, which made portraying her a truly rewarding experience. I particularly enjoyed exploring Chandni’s chemistry with Anshuman and Samir, as their bond evolves in a heartfelt and meaningful way, adding depth to the story. It was also wonderful to work with Sheeba Chaddha again; her talent and warmth made the experience even more special.”
