The month of May is special for Gulshan Devaiah. Apart from it being his birthday, his two projects – his web series Dahaad and movie 8 AM Metro – released in this month. “This month has been special for me. Dahaad became a hit and my film 8 AM Metro was released in theatres. Although only a few people saw it, they have liked it. My work has been appreciated in it. Birthday months are lucky months,” he said in an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama.
EXCLUSIVE: Gulshan Devaiah celebrates his birthday amid success of Dahaad, “My ex-wife, who is my best friend, has booked a table at an expensive restaurant”
Devaiah completes 45 today but he tells us that he doesn’t quite like celebrating. “I wish to do nothing, but people don’t let you do that,” he said. “Friends will make some plan. Chalti nahin hai aapki marzi. My ex-wife (Kalliroi Tziafeta) is my best friend. She has somehow managed to book a table in an expensive restaurant.”
Directed by Reema Kagti and Ruckika Oberoi and streamed on Amazon Prime Video, Dahaad is a gritty crime drama taking place in the interiors of Rajasthan, where nobody generally shoots. Devaiah said that the biggest challenge for the team was the cold weather.
“We didn’t feel that we were shooting at a place where nobody shoots,” said the actor. “Shooting in the cold was challenging. We were given summer uniforms, but we were shooting in the winter. Other than this, there was no other challenge. It was a very good team and we enjoyed.”
Dahaad stars Sonakshi Sinha in the lead role of a sub-inspector. Devaiah, who plays her senior, had a lot of scenes with her. “We used to do a lot of time pass and chat,” he said. “We used to play volleyball and badminton. We got a good chance of knowing each other. We developed a good friendship. It helps when you are working with someone you are comfortable with. She lives a very active lifestyle. She likes sports.”
Devaiah’s character Devilal Singh is usually calm but there is one scene in the ending portions where he loses his cool and screams at his wife in a moment of conflict. Recalling that moment, Devaiah said, “It will burst out at some point. I don’t exactly remember if it was in the script or we improvised. If a person is always keeping calm in tough situations, the anger and frustration will eventually come out in some way on someone; he is a human after all. He also blurts out to his wife that she is backward.”
