The trailer of Toolsidas Junior is out. The film stars late Rajiv Kapoor in the lead role. The story is placed in Calcutta, 1994. We are introduced to Toolsidas (Rajiv Kapoor) who wants to win a snooker tournament against champion Jimmy Tandon (Dilip Tahhil). Rajiv as Toolsidas wants to show his son Toolsidas Junior that he can become a champion. However, he loses the game.
