A film based on a snooker champion, Toolsidas Junior will also feature Varun Buddhadev and Rajiv Kapoor. The poster of the film has an interesting tagline - “Baccha hai, phad dega’. Sanjay will have a guest appearance as a snooker coach, a Mumbai Mirror report from 2018 claimed.

Director Mridul has earlier co-written and co-directed Missed Call, which represented India at the Cannes Film Festival in 2006. The movie also features in Films Division’s honour list of ‘Best of Indian Cinema’.
