Chhichhore: Shraddha Kapoor, Varun Sharma commence shooting for Nitesh Tiwari's film

Mumbai: After the stupendous success of 'Dangal', director Nitesh Tiwari has finalised his next project 'Chhichhore’ starring Sushant Singh Rajput and Shraddha Kapoor in lead roles. While the Aamir Khan starrer was a sports biopic, this time around the director is keen on exploring something different from his last outing. Set against the backdrop of an engineering college, the film is a youthful coming of age drama.
