The National award-winning 44-year-old actor Arjun Rampal is playing the main lead in Ashim Ahluwalia’s ‘Daddy’, based on the life of former gangster turned politician Arun Gawli, who is called as the king of Dagdi Chawl, a settlement in Mumbai. Daddy is the nickname Gawli’s admirers had given to him.

The trailer shows how Gawli rose up from the slums of Mumbai (then Bombay) to become one of the dreaded gangsters in Mumbai. It focuses on a gang called B.R.A. where B stands for Babu, R for Rama and A for Arun, who is called as the one from a different league. It is his story. The trailer then follows his journey from being a street side silly Arun to the man adored and looked up by his ardent followers who call him “Daddy”, which means his followers used to look up to him as their father, the protector.
Daddy has been produced by Arjun Rampal and Rutvij Patel and is scheduled to release in theaters on July 21.
