EXCLUSIVE! Samir Kochhar On Playing Maddy In Moonwalk: 'MS Dhoni's Calmness Inspires Me—It’s Unreal'

Moonwalk OTT release: Actor Samir Kochhar brings the unpredictable and risk-taking Maddy Sharma to life in JioCinema Premium's upcoming heist comedy, Moonwalk.

Sharing insights into his character, Samir said, "Maddy thrives on calculated risks, and playing him often reminded me of MS Dhoni's calm and composed demeanour, though Kapil Dev remains my all-time favourite cricketer." Directed by Ajay Bhuyan and produced by Jyoti Deshpande (Jio Studios) and Ajay G. Rai (Jar Pictures), the series promises a laugh-out-loud journey filled with outrageous schemes, wild twists, and a heartwarming mix of comedy, crime, and chaos. The show will premiere on JioCinema on 20th December.

Speaking about his interest in Cricket, Samir Kochhar revealed, "Kapil Dev has always been my all-time favourite cricketer, and I've had the privilege of working with him on several occasions. My second favourite is MS Dhoni. His calmness, composure, and exceptional leadership skills inspire me. As a captain and a person, he's truly unreal. Playing Maddy, a character who thrives on calculated risks, I found myself reflecting on Dhoni's calm demeanour and how it could subtly influence my performance."

Speaking about his admiration for rising talents, Samir adds, "I also admire young players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Rishabh Pant. Their skill, promise, and determination remind me that greatness is not just about success but also about perseverance and growth. Each of them has left a lasting impact on me, both on and off the field."

The hilarious heist comedy Moonwalk is available for streaming exclusively on JioCinema Premium. The first episode premiered on December 20th!
