What to expect from Single Papa?

The upcoming web series follows Gaurav Gehlot, who adopts a baby just to prove his family that he's a responsible man after his heartbreaking divorce. We have previously seen such similar concept in Akshay Kumar's Heyy Babyy (2007), where three unmarried men taking care of a newborn baby. However, such unique concept remained unexplored for two decades, until Netflix brings Single Papa this year.

The series exhibits Ayesha Raza as Kunal Kemmu's mother, Manoj Pahwa as his father and Prajakta Koli as his sister. The real question is, will the Gehlot family help Gaurav to take care of his adopted baby? Or does he have to let go the innocent baby?

The 2-minute-45-second video opens with an ongoing tense divorce case at the courtroom between Kunal Kemmu and Isha Talwar, where she explains that she introduces Kemmu's character as a man-child who still takes pocket money from his father and is not even bothered to earn. Soon he decides to adopt a baby to prove his maturity, while he himself is on the journey of sheding the boyish charm and begin to think out of the box.

Meanwhile, Neha Dhupia brings a twist in the plot who vows to not let Kunal Kemmu legally adopt the baby and fulfill his desires at any cost.
