Gangs of Tooting Broadway is a 2013 British-Tamil crime drama film directed by Devanand Shanmugam. The film features Nav Sidhu and Kabelan Verlkumar in lead roles. It released on 4 February 2013. The story is based on gang wars between Tamil people and Black people living in Tooting Broadway.
The main protagonist Paras (Nav Sidhu) is a disillusioned former member of the Wolf Pack, now returned to Tooting four years after going to Cambridge. His mother tells him that his younger brother Rishi has turned into a gangster and that he is planning a big war to take place in Tooting Broadway. Paras is sent to stop and protect his brother. The film then turns to a flashback four years ago. Paras was a popular gangster who was taken by a police officer (Oliver Cotton) to be an undercover informer. Now back in reality, Paras meets Vikas, his old boss. Vikas tells him that the Black people want war with the Tamils, and the only way Paras can protect his brother, is by finishing the war by killing all the Black people in Tooting. Persuaded, Paras & Vikas go to finish off the war, however a completely unexpected twist takes place leading to Vikas' death. Years later, Paras returns to Cambridge to collect his master's degree. He wakes up on a bridge, with little memory, unsure of how to proceed.
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.
