‘Daddy was like a pressure cooker’
Actor Arjun Rampal, who is geared up for the release of Daddy, says the film is like a pressure cooker as the crew faced a lot of challenges while shooting it.“We had to take permissions and rights of a lot many people before making this film,” said Arjun. “This film has a huge cast and it is set in many different periods, so to bring authenticity in that department was a difficult task, but I am very happy with the end result,” he added.
Directed by Ashim Ahluwalia, the movie is based on the life of Arun Gawli, a real-life Mumbai don.
