PAPA MY HERO

Family secrets surface when Gupta, a struggling middle aged actor decides to take a break. His anxiety spikes when he encounters the most dreadful situation that is beyond his wildest imagination. Back home, his wife misses him and is anxiously waiting for him to return. Known to the world as a dedicated family man and the most loving father that ever lived, Gupta has kept secrets from his wife and daughter. His shaky acting career adds to his loneliness and as an escape route, he treads a path no wife can tolerate. His daughter Simmi, a 19 year old girl out to start her career loves him more than anyone else. Every daughter sees a hero in her father. Heroes wear masks. When Gupta's mask drops, he turns into an antagonist and his family life takes a dangerous path that hits a dead end. A point of no return. Gupta realises he has to live with this for the rest of his life. But, he can not afford to let his secrets come out in the open, specially to his wife. He must do whatever he can or whatever he must, to guard his darker side. Thus, he takes action. Action to save himself from being looked down upon, he saves his image in the society, his reputation, his career, as he has no other choice. He chooses pain over insult at a very high price. The price that he pays by sacrificing his family life. A situation that no man should land into, ever.
