Arjun, who was recently present at FICCI Frames 2017 along with director Ashim Ahluwalia, talked in depth about his film based on Gawli. The 44-year-old described the experience of meeting the gangster in person, saying, “When Arun Gawli came out on parole and we had the opportunity to meet him and he said he doesn’t want to be shown as a hero.
