Mumbai, Dec 1 (LatestNewsX) – Actor Kunal Kemmu, who is preparing for his new Netflix series Single Papa, said that turning down the role was one of the fastest professional choices he has ever made. Speaking to LatestNewsX during the show’s launch push, he recalled how he was first approached.
He told LatestNewsX, “It was one of the quickest decisions for me. I remember Samar and Shashank, who’s the showrunner on this, and Samar Khan, who’s the producer on this, reached out to me. I don’t know if they gave me a gist, they said that you bring something to the show. And I remember meeting Ishita, Shashank, Samar, and they just narrated the first episode to me and then they just told me the arc of that. And I think by the time they finished narrating that episode, I was like, ‘Yeah, let’s do this’ because it just kind of connected with me on different levels. I love the writing of it. I love the fact that this was going to be a clutter breaker of sorts”.
After this, he added, “Netflix was trying to make a show which was lighthearted, funny, yet kind of had an emotional depth to it. So I think it’s one of those shows which will make you laugh, but at the same time, it might strike a nerve and be a tear‑jerker at some point. So all of those things were lovely. And I love the part that was written for me, which is of Gaurav Gehlot. And I just knew I just wanted to be a part of it”.
The series, produced by Aditya Pittie and Samar Khan under the Juggernaut Productions banner, is slated to stream on Netflix from December 12, 2025.
