Received support from Mumbai Police to shoot Daddy : Arjun Rampal

Mumbai March 23 (IANS) National Award winning actor-producer Arjun Rampal whose forthcoming film Daddy is based on gangster turned politician Arun Gawli says Mumbai Police was quite supportive during the film s shooting.

However the actor is little worried about the certification for the film since it has a political backdrop.

The actor who was present here at FICCI Frames 2017 along with director Ashim Ahluwalia told the media: Since Gawli is a gangster and politician and we are projecting the character as authentic as possible shooting a major part in real location was risky. But we received huge support from Mumbai Police to shoot the film they did not object.

About fears on film s certification he added: When I started the film I did not think too much about it. But now that you people are talking about it I am a little worried.

The actor who has co-written the script for the first time went through an extensive research work to bring out the authentic story of Gawli.

Ashim also a National award winning film director attempted to capture different phases of Gawli s life in the film with intense detailing in appearance production designing and screenplay.

Considering the fact that his earlier film Miss Lovely was screened at various international film festivals including Cannes he tried to cater the film Daddy for both Indian and international audience.

Produced co-written and acted by Arjun Rampal the film is tentatively slated to be released in July.
