Gulshan Devaiah makes a 'thrilling' Marathi debut

After winning accolades for his portrayal in '

Shaitan

' and '

Hunterrr

', actor Gulshan Devaiah has turned his eyes towards the

Marathi

industry.

With the upcoming film '

Daav

', Gulshan will make a foray into Marathi films, adding to the ever-growing list of Bollywood actors associating with the industry. Gulshan will be seen playing an investigative officer in this bilingual crime thriller (renamed '

Haadsa

' in Hindi) directed by Kanishk Varma. And to get the portrayal right, he went the extra mile. "Although I played a Maharashtrian character in 'Hunterrr' and even had a couple of Marathi dialogues, I wasn’t fluent at the language,” says Gulshan.

For 'Daav', the actor underwent a month-long Marathi training programme. He adds, “The story of the film is so gripping that I didn’t want to let this role go to anyone else just
because I didn’t know the language. So the month-long training was a great option for me. Having stayed in Mumbai, I didn’t find it hard to pick up the language and I can converse in Marathi now.”
