The trailer for late actor Rajiv Kapoor`s final film “Toolsidas Junior” has been launched. The film is a sports drama also starring Sanjay Dutt, Varun Buddhadev, and Dalip Tahil and was supposed to mark Rajiv`s comeback to acting. However, Rajiv passed away in 2021 following a massive heart attack, at the age of 58. He had finished shooting the film before his death. The trailer introduces Rajiv as Toolsidas, an ace snooker player, who proudly proclaims that he `only plays for his son`. We see glimpses of his prowess as a cueist along with the goings of his sons, including the titular Toolsidas Junior (played by Varun). But after Toolsidas loses in an important tournament to his arch-rival, his son decides to fulfill his father`s dream. For this, he enlists the help of a former snooker champion Mohammad Salam (Sanjay). The film is claimed to be inspired by true events and is set in Calcutta of 1994. The father-son story went into production back in 2018. Rajiv was supposed to mark his comeback to acting having stayed away from on-screen performances since 1990.
