Actor Gulshan Devaiah on Wednesday shared a heartwarming anecdote about his manager, Richa Bhoyar. The actor, who has been a part of unconventional cinema since his debut in Anurag Kashyap’s That Girl in Yellow Boots, expressed his gratitude for Richa’s support and revealed their unique connection.

In a Twitter post, Gulshan reminisced about the time when Richa, then a college student, unknowingly championed his film Hunterrr. Back in 2015, Richa came across the movie’s poster and instantly recommended it to her friends as a fun watch. Little did they know that their paths would cross again in the future.

Sharing the heartwarming anecdote, Gulshan Devaiah wrote, “Hello 🙂 The young lady in the picture is Richa Bhoyar. In 2015, she was 20 something years old, in college, perusing her studies. She saw the poster of Hunterrr one day & told her friends that they should go watch it in the theatre because it looks like a fun movie. She & her friends had never heard of me before that day, yet she convinced around 15 of her friends to buy tickets to watch my film. They all apparently really enjoyed the film.”

Revealing how Richa became his manager, he added, “Cut to …present day, Richa, now part of Bling Entertainment, is my manager. She has been my manager, cheerleader, confidant & friend for about 2 years now. She just told me the story about Hunterrr & it put a big smile on my face & lots of warmth in heart. She had no idea that she’d be a talent manager one day & I had no idea until she told me this story earlier today. The “power of attraction” she says 😀.. I am so happy that this is how things worked out for me. Thank you Richa & many cheers to you. Cinema Zindabad!! See y’all at the movies!!” Gulshan played the role of a sex addict in Hunterrr.

Gulshan Devaiah recently received accolades for his nuanced performance as a police officer in the Amazon Prime web series Dahaad. He will be next seen in the highly anticipated show Guns & Gulaabs, helmed by hit director duo Raj and DK. He also has Sudhanshu Saria’s Ulajh, which also stars Janhvi Kapoor and Roshan Mathew.

Mumbai: 

Actor Gulshan Devaiah, who is receiving a lot of positive response for his work in the recently released streaming series ‘Dahaad’, feels that as the world gets upgraded with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) with the former taking over creative jobs, it is his responsibility to support the artistes financially in lieu of their work.

Recently, Bengaluru-based caricature artiste Prasad Bhat, who is the founder of Graphicurry, reached out to Gulshan to pay a tribute to him as an actor, by caricaturing some of his iconic characters.

The actor could not accept it for free. Touched by the gesture, Gulshan commissioned the work from the artiste.

Talking about the same, Gulshan said” “If I really like something then I’m willing to pay for it. I’m very grateful & privileged to receive offers from artists to make me something for free but it’s their livelihood too and in this age of Machine Learning and AI, the least I can do is support artists by offering to pay them their rates”.

Prasad had picked Gulshan’s looks from his movies and series, like ‘Commando 3’, ‘Dahaad’, ‘Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela’, ‘Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota’, ‘Ghost Stories‘, ‘Durangaa’, ‘Badhaai Do’, ‘Hunterrr’, ‘Death in the Gunj’ and ‘That Girl in Yellow Boots’.

The actor further mentioned: “Prasad offered to make me something. I liked his idea and decided I wanted to commission him to kinda summarise my career until now with his art. I’m very happy with Prasad’s caricatures and each one of them has wonderful memories attached to them.”

Meanwhile, on the work front, Gulshan who was last seen in the movie ‘8 A.M. Metro’, opposite Saiyami Kher, will soon begin filming his upcoming action thriller movie ‘Ulajh’ with Janhvi Kapoor and Malayalam star Roshan Mathew.

Why Gulshan Devaiah is called an ‘encyclopedia’ by his ‘Dahaad’ co-stars

 Actor Gulshan Devaiah shared an instance from the shoot days of ‘Dahaad’ and recounted how he took up the role of a ‘prompter’ for co-star Vijay Varma, and how his co-stars fondly called him an encyclopedia on set.

“There was a particular scene that was shot in a school. This was Vijay and my first scene together and it was quite an easy scene, where we have an exchange in a corridor. We shot the master/wide take and were shooting the OS (over the shoulder) close ups.”

“It was going well, and suddenly I saw Vijay searching for his line as he had forgotten his line. I was like this is such a good take for me and so I started to prompt him,” said Gulshan.

The actor added: “Now the camera was on me and not on him. It was my close up so I’m desperately trying to cover my mouth while prompting him his line. Of course, Vijay broke into a laugh!”

“There’s no way we could now use this take because whatever I was doing in order to prompt him while avoiding getting caught on camera was quite comically out of character. We had a good laugh about it and re-did the take.”

Gulshan who is tagged as a “walking encyclopedia” by his co-actors is known for remembering everything – including his co-actors’ dialogues, fun facts about random things – from food to sports.

Shoot days would often end with a fun dancing session, an impromptu karaoke, or even a friendly match of badminton. Pranks were a common occurrence and the actors and creators became a close-knit group till the end of the shoot.

Directed by Reema Kagti and Ruchika Oberoi, ‘Dahaad’ is produced by Excel Media and Entertainment and Tiger Baby with Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar, Zoya Akhtar, and Reema Kagti as Executive Producers.

The 8-episodic series streaming on Prime Video.

Kodava Goes Filmi

Arts, Culture & Entertainment, Famous Personalities of Kodagu / Coorg, , , ,
Kodava goes filmi

He’s a Bengalurean who now calls Mumbai his home. Meet Kodava hottie Gulshan Devaiah who has taken Bollywood by storm with his performances in Shaitan and Dum Maaro Dum. Well-spoken, funny and passionate, Gulshan plays KC, a wild child whose parents don’t know his true colours in Shaitan. “He’s always living life on the edge. He loves women, flirts and sleeps around with them. But inside, he’s a very insecure person.”

But Gulshan’s the complete opposite of KC when it comes to women. “When I was in PUC, I’d have a bunch of girls waiting for me. I was incredibly shy and needed a lot of courage to talk to them. I’m also a non-violent guy who thinks fights are emotionally draining. I just like sitting at home and being by myself.”

Gulshan was born and brought up in Bengaluru. “I studied at Cluny Convent and then at St Joseph’s PUC. I wasn’t particularly good at studies and even failed my second PUC! I also lived in a rough neighbourhood where people would randomly get beaten up. Once, I got beaten up by a guy who used to like a girl that I would chat with!” he laughs.

But what saved him was the fashion world. He went onto study fashion at NIFT. “I worked in the fashion business for 10 years. I taught fashion at a college, started a business and even freelanced.” However, Gulshan gave it all up to follow his childhood dream — acting. He wasn’t new to acting when he entered B-Town. This drama enthusiast started doing theatre at a very young age. “I would come up with my own acts for school functions. I even did a lot miming and solo acts (which was called ‘mono acting’ back then!). I did semi-professional theatre with a Kannada troupe. I’ve been active in amateur English theatre since 2000,” says Gulshan who is now busy with his play Butter and Mashed Banana.

While there have been talks about Shiv and Neil puckering up in Shaitan, Gulshan laughs, “Mine’s the real kiss and nobody’s talking about it! It’s a proper Hollywood type one!”

The Bengaluru boy adds. “I miss my mom and dad a lot. When I visit Bengaluru, I miss India Coffee House in its original place. The atmosphere and dosas — were just awesome!”
