Exclusive: Arjun Rampal doesn't want an item number in 'Daddy'

Daddy, the Arjun Rampal-starrer, is based on gangster-turned-politician Arun Gawli’s life. The actor-producer chose a non commercial director like Ashim Ahluwalia to direct Daddy. The two of them decided that they don’t want an item number to sell their film.

“Yes, Ashim had these apprehensions, and so did I. I didn’t want an item song, any bare body fight sequences or jumping off the roof with cables. Even though it might sound exciting, what impressed me was this person’s journey,” says Arjun.

Ashim, the director of the critically acclaimed film Miss Lovely, added, “I asked Arjun to co-produce the movie, as it was the only way to protect the film. Else, studios will always have their agendas.”
