Mumbai, Dec 2 (NationPress) Netflix has just revealed the captivating trailer for Kunal Kemmu's upcoming comedic venture, Single Papa.
The teaser gives audiences a glimpse into the life of Gaurav Gehlot, a 30-year-old charming man-child, whose mother still purchases his underwear and who survives on periodic pocket money from his father. However, he leaves his lively Indian family in a state of shock when he announces his decision to adopt a child.
The trailer showcases Gaurav's amusing escapades as he juggles baby bottles and questionable choices.
Joining Kemmu in this comedic drama are a talented ensemble cast, including Manoj Pahwa, Ayesha Raza, Prajakta Koli, Neha Dhupia, Suhail Nayyar, Dayanand Shetty, Aisha Ahmed, Dhruv Rathee, and Isha Talwar.
Regarding his role as Gaurav, Kemmu expressed, “Portraying Gaurav has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my career. The character is imperfect, humorous, and deeply loving… much like many real-life single parents. I believe audiences will relate to the families depicted in this show. The warmth of each character is what makes this series truly special and heartfelt!”
Prajakta Koli, who plays Namrata, Gaurav's sister, shared, “Single Papa vividly illustrates what a beautifully flawed Indian family looks like. It’s noisy, affectionate, opinionated, and dramatic, yet always supportive. As an only child, I never grasped the sibling dynamics before Single Papa. The playful banter with Kunal, our disagreements, and affection felt natural. It's an ideal show for family binge-watching.”
Neha Dhupia, portraying the assertive Romilla Nehra, remarked, “As a parent myself, what resonated with me the most about Single Papa is its honest depiction of the chaos, tenderness, and imperfections that define families. Parenting is never straightforward or flawless, and this show captures that essence beautifully. It intertwines humor and heart in a manner that feels profoundly authentic. Being part of this universe was incredibly rewarding, and I'm eager for audiences to experience the warmth, chaos, and love we've crafted.”
Single Papa is set to premiere on Netflix on December 12.
