What works in Daddy's favour is the amount of intense effort Arjun has made to study Gawli and look and feel like the real man. In a time where prosthetics and make up substitute the real feel, Arjun has managed to get beneath the skin of this character with so many grey shades and emerged triumphant in playing him with utmost honesty. The fact that Gawli's real life has so much drama and is unlike any other gangster we have known has helped Daddy become such a hot property. For those unaware of the history, Gawli never ran from the police, neither did he evade arrest, the decisions he made and life he chose to live made him an instant hero of the masses despite the clouds of crime and murder hanging heavy over his head.
The film was launched at the Google headquarters which was the first for any film and ever since then social media has been buzzing with praise for the film. The gangster who never ran from the police, this catchphrase is enough to raise curiosity levels among the audience to visit theatres and catch the movie
