New Delhi, India - Actor Kunal Kemmu has made a successful transition from acting to direction with his debut film, 'Madgaon Express', a comedy that has taken the box office by storm. Kemmu credits his fearlessness in taking the leap as the key factor in his success. 'I had nothing to lose,' he said in an interview with PTI. 'I'd never made a film before, so at worst, I'd know I didn't know how to do it.' Kemmu's directorial debut was a surprise hit, and the 42-year-old actor is now working on his next project, a comedy-drama series called 'Single Papa'.

'Single Papa' has managed to strike a balance between humor and heart, making it an entertaining show that the whole family can enjoy. The show is set to stream on Netflix from Thursday, and Kemmu is confident that it will resonate with audiences. When asked what drew him to the project, Kemmu said, 'I just loved the concept, story, and writing. And I love the people who are involved in making it.' He also praised the show's creators, Shashank Khaitan, Hitesh Kewalya, and Neeraj Udhwani, for their vision and dedication to the project. Kemmu's journey from actor to director and back again is a testament to his fearlessness and willingness to take risks.
