Plot

The main protagonist Arun (Nav Sidhu) is a disillusioned former member of the Wolf Pack, now returned to Tooting after some years. His mother tells him that his younger brother Ruthi has turned into a gangster and that he is planning a big war to take place in Tooting Broadway. Arun is sent to stop and protect his brother. The film then turns to a flashback four years ago. Arun was a popular gangster who was taken by a police officer (Oliver Cotton) to be an undercover informer. Now back in reality, Arun meets Karuna, his old boss. Karuna tells him that another gang wants a war, and the only way Arun can protect his brother, is by finishing the war by killing all of the members of the other gang in Tooting. Persuaded, they go to finish off the war, however a completely unexpected twist takes place leading to Karuna's death.

Production

Film production began in 2011. A teaser of the film was uploaded to YouTube in February 2012, however the film was then delayed. It finally was released on 4 February 2013.
