Moonwalk: JioCinema Unveils Comedy Thriller Series Premiering On December 20

JioCinema is gearing up to present a unique comedy-thriller series, Moonwalk, which blends heist, romance, and loyalty. Featuring Samir Kochhar, Anshumaan Pushkar, Nidhi Singh, Sheeba Chadha, and Geentanjali Kulkarni in pivotal roles, the show will debut on JioCinema Premium on 20th December. The trailer hints at an unusual rivalry between two thieves competing not just for a heist but also for love. With its mix of humour and suspense, Moonwalk aims to captivate viewers.

Moonwalk introduces Tarik Pandey (played by Anshumaan Pushkar), Rampur's finest thief, who faces off against Maddy (portrayed by Samir Kochhar), Delhi's top crook. They vie for both a valuable treasure and the affection of Chandani (played by Nidhi Singh). After Tarik ends up in jail due to a mistake, Chandani sets a challenge: whoever steals the better item—Tarik's golden commode or Maddy's precious necklace—will win her heart. Meanwhile, an elderly gangster, his son aspiring to be a teacher, a strict cop, Chandani's jealous ex-boyfriend, and a legendary cellmate add to the chaos. This leads to an unexpected showdown as everyone competes for the ultimate prize—a moonrock! Directed by Ajay Bhuyan and produced by Jyoti Deshpande (Jio Studios) and Ajay G Rai (Jar Pictures), Moonwalk promises excitement.

Samir Kochhar expressed his enthusiasm for the role of Maddy: "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 shared his experience playing Tarik: "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 discussed her role as Chandani: "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 Anshumaan 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."

The series promises an engaging storyline filled with drama and entertainment. Audiences can look forward to this quirky heist adventure when Moonwalk premieres on JioCinema on 20th December.
