Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Chhichhore revolves around Aniruddha Pathak aka Anni (Sushant), whose teenaged son Raghav attempts to take his own life after failing to clear the entrance exam to get into the engineering college of his choice, as he fears being called a ‘loser’. In an attempt to rekindle hope in Raghav, Anni tells him about his own journey as a ‘loser’ in college. His college gang, including ex-wife Maya (Shraddha Kapoor), joins him to complete the story. Chhichhore was a critical and commercial success, with domestic earnings of more than ₹100 crore. Meanwhile, talking about SSR, the actor was found dead in his Mumbai residence on June 14 last year under mysterious circumstances. As of now, his death case is being investigated by CBI, ED and NCB.
