TIL Desk Bollywood/ Actor Arjun Rampal says his upcoming biopic on jailed gangster-turned-politician Arun Gawli is not an image-building exercise and steers clear of glorifying anything that is undesirable. The film, “Daddy”, is based on Gawli (61), who is serving a life sentence in a murder case.
“We made it sure that this is not going to be a propaganda film around a character where you are going to be showing him as a good guy, or portraying him in a different image. It’s not an image-building film. We were excited with his life and that’s what we wanted to explore.”
The actor says the team had to convince his family that the story will be handled sensitively and Gawli himself didn’t want to be shown as a “hero.” “It took a lot of time to convince the family but fortunately they came on board. When Arun Gawli came out on parole we had the opportunity to meet him. He said, ‘I don’t want to be shown as a hero. Tell my story the way it is’,” says Arjun.
