Kunal Kemmu: Saying 'yes' to 'Single Papa' was one of my quickest decisions

Kunal Kemmu shares why saying yes to Netflix's 'Single Papa' was one of his fastest professional calls, praising its emotional depth and unique writing.

"It was one of the quickest decisions for me... it just kind of connected with me on different levels. - Kunal Kemmu"

Mumbai, Dec 1

Actor Kunal Kemmu, who is gearing up for his upcoming streaming series ‘Single Papa’, has shared that saying yes to the series is one of his quickest professional decisions.

The actor spoke with IANS during the promotional campaign of the series, and recollected how he was narrated the show.

He told IANS, “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”.

He further mentioned, “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”.

Produced by Aditya Pittie and Samar Khan under the Juggernaut Productions banner, the show is set to stream on December 12, 2025 on Netflix.

Finally, a show that tackles modern Indian fatherhood. It's high time we moved beyond the stereotypical strict dad roles. Hope it's as good as it sounds. All the best to the team!

I have a lot of respect for Kunal, but I hope the show doesn't just rely on emotional manipulation. Many Indian OTT shows start with a great concept but get lost in unnecessary drama. Fingers crossed this one stays true to its "lighthearted" promise.

The premise sounds lovely. A show that can make you laugh and cry is always a winner. It's refreshing to see Netflix India investing in different kinds of stories. December 12 is marked on my calendar!

Good to see actors being passionate about their projects. When a performer connects with a script instantly, it usually shows in the final product. Juggernaut Productions has a decent track record too. Expecting a quality watch.

As a single parent myself, I'm really looking forward to this representation. Hope they handle the subject with sensitivity and humour, not just as a sob story. More power to all the single papas and mamas out there! ❤️
