With a comical satirical touch, Choona is written and directed by Pushpendra Nath Misra. The series is backed by Flying Saucer, a release date is yet to be announced.   

Choona revolves around a heist that is planned by a group of people, or as the makers say “an astrologer, a highly skilled, shape-shifting informer, a gully ka gunda, a demoted police officer, a once successful contractor, and a resourceful mediator, Bishnu”. As they target their common enemy Shukla and loot Rs 600 crore, which is guarded by high level security, Choona will focus on how the group will pull off the task.

Speaking about Choona, Pushpendra Nath Misra said, "Choona is grand and unique; a world that is quintessentially Indian because of elements like astrology and jugaad. It is a complete package of action, drama, romance, thrills, and comedy meant to thoroughly entertain the audience. Choona champions the power of the common man.”

Actor Jimmy Shergill mentioned, “The show has a high-spirited narrative and is extremely rich in culture which makes it a perfect watch. As a character, Shukla is quite smart and savvy. He’s unpredictable and one can never know how he will react in a situation. It’s not so easy to con Shukla, especially on his own turf. Does Shukla really get conned? Wait and watch!”
