New Delhi: The underbelly of society, yet again, finds
space on the big screen with the release of the political crime drama, Daddy.
The movie stars Arjun Rampal and Aishwarya Rajesh in the lead roles. Arjun
Rampal will be seen playing the role of Arun Gawli, the gangster turned
politician. The underbelly has always been an integral part of Mumbai and it
has always inspired writers and makers. Recently, the star-cast along with the
director, Ashim Ahluwalia and Rahul Mitra (CEO, Wave Cinemas) promoted
the movie in Delhi. They interacted with the media and gave an insight of the
film.
On being asked about the film and on Arun Gawli, Arjun said,
"This film is one of its kind. Arun Gawli is already a hero in
Maharashtra. I loved his genre which inspired me to play Arun Gawli. This is a
very unique story which is very unusual and the gangster is an accidental don.
He has faced many ups and downs but he kept coming back without the defeat is
what inspired me."
On
being asked about the preparation for the role he said, "We had to pay
much attention on the looks because he is a known face. The style in which he
used to wear his cap, the dialect and everything. The makeup artists were
brought from Italy. I also got a new nose for the role. I had to drop gym and
lose 11 kgs and so on."
Ashim
on being asked about the glorification aspect of a gangster through this film
said, "No, I don't like gangster films that aspire. But, I was interested
in Arun Gawli as a normal man. We made it clear in the initial phase only that
we will not portray him as a hero and will show his all shades. We were not
really interested in glorifying him."
Aishwarya
on being asked about the difficulties that she faced, said, "I didn't know
anything about Arun Gawli. Difficult thing was the language and rest of the
things were manageable. Ashim was very patient and supportive for me. And Arjun
also helped me to feel comfortable which added positively in the output."
