Aashim plays the character of Ansari, a ‘gully ka gunda’. He underwent extensive training and workshops to fully immerse himself in Ansari's world, embracing the nuances and mannerisms of a person from a different cultural background. As the director's choice for the role of Ansari, Aashim felt both thrilled and challenged. Aashim said: “Choona was a prolific and wholesome journey as I haven't played a character like this before.”

Known for his boy-next-door charm, Aashim admitted that he often gets calls for similar roles. However, Choona presented to him a fresh opportunity to break out of that mould and explore newer dimensions as an actor. “I am ecstatic to be a part of Choona and to bring Ansari's character to life. Ansari's journey is a rollercoaster of emotions, blending drama, comedy, and action in a truly unique way. Roles like this allow me to experiment and test my craft, encouraging me to mould myself into doing more versatile characters,” said the Jee Karda actor. Choona: Jimmy Shergill Looks for the Planets To Align To Decide Release Date, Netflix Web Series To Stream From August 3!

“Working on this series has been an incredible opportunity for growth, and I am excited for audiences to see me in this never-seen-before avatar,” shared Aashim. One of the highlights of Choona revealed by Aashim is the genius writing and attention to detail by Pushpendra Nath Misra. Adding further to this, he shared, “His vision of how Choona should materialise on screen was so precise that there was hardly any room for improvisation. Such meticulousness ensures that every aspect of the show is purposeful and adds depth to the characters and the plot.” The show stars Jimmy Shergill, Arshad Warsi, Chandan Roy, Namit Das, Gyanendra Tripathi, among others. Choona will release on September 29 on Netflix.
