Arjun Rampal and Aishwarya Rajesh is on a promotional spree for their upcoming film Daddy. Arjun talked about his film in media interaction on Monday in Mumbai. During media interaction, Arjun stated that he want to show this film to Mega star Amitabh Bachchan.
Arjun and Mr. Bachchan have worked together in films like Aankhein, Ek Ajnabee and Satyagraha. Arjun shares great equation with Amitabh Bachchan, so when asked Arjun to whom he wants to show this film, Arjun replied, “There are many actors to whom I want to show this film but particularly, I want to show this film to Amitabh Bachchan as I want to know his reaction about our film”.
When asked Arjun whether he has any kind of expectation and nervousness with this film, Arjun said, “We have been working in films from so many years, so I feel you can expect certain kind of expectation from the audience. When audience has expectation from you, then automatically there will be responsibility on you to make a good film.”
“Our film is different. We haven’t made a typical film so this also gives us nervous feeling when we think about whether audience will be able to connect with this film or not but I feel audience will like the film.”
When asked whether there were any apprehensions while doing unusual film like this, Arjun said, “There is risk involved in every film. If there were any no risk film which is able to collect 100 0r 200 crores at the box-office then everybody will make that kind of films only. Films are not just made for the box-office but for audience as well. We have made effort that Arun Gawali and his family should like this film and our entire team should also like the film because when there will be satisfaction about the film in the team then only you should release the film. Until you get satisfied with the film, you should work on that film to better it, so I feel this kind of satisfaction we had after working and watching this film.”
When asked Arjun whether this film glorifies Arun Gawli, to that, Arjun said, “We are not glorifying him. We are just showing the truth. All the gangsters of India ran away but he is the only one who didn’t ran so that was the inspiration point of the film otherwise it would have been same gangster film where we would have shot the film in Dubai and France etc. but he was from this city and he was well connected with local people and later he joined politics and won election as well so how and why all this happened with him is the story of our film”
“On humanity level, you will emphasize with this character as well because he is human being as well. He still thinks that he is not-guilty and we have shown this part in film’s trailer as well”.
Arjun first time turning producer with daddy, talking about experience as a producer, he said, “I learned a lot and I am happy that I got opportunity to produce this film independently and with this film I will be always very happy and proud”.
